ISLAMABAD: US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly agreed on a framework to end the Gaza conflict within two weeks, according to Israeli media outlets, including The Times of Israel.
The development follows a US military strike on Iran and signals a potential turning point in the region’s ongoing unrest.
As part of the reported deal, Hamas will withdraw from Gaza, with the United Arab Emirates and Egypt taking on administrative control.
The arrangement also includes the release of all Israeli hostages held in Gaza and plans for the voluntary resettlement of Palestinians willing to relocate to third countries.
Ceasefire Conditions and Regional Impact
While neither Washington nor Tel Aviv has officially confirmed the agreement, the terms reflect a shift in regional geopolitics—particularly with
Arab nations playing a central post-conflict role.
Analysts caution that implementing the agreement will require navigating serious on-ground complexities, especially regarding Palestinian consensus and broader regional reactions.
Trump’s Public Remarks and Iran-Israel Conflict
Earlier this week, President Trump confirmed that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was underway, though he criticized both nations for violating the initial terms.
In an unfiltered series of statements, he called out Israel for launching airstrikes after the truce announcement, saying:
“As soon as we made the deal, [Israel] came out and dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen before.”
Trump reportedly issued real-time directives via social media, demanding Israel stop bombing operations and bring its pilots home.
Despite the tensions, Trump hailed the US-led bombing mission against Iran’s nuclear facilities as successful and insisted Iran would not be able to rebuild its atomic infrastructure.
If the agreement between Trump and Netanyahu holds, it could mark a rare moment of de-escalation and provide President Trump with a major diplomatic victory in the lead-up to international negotiations.
