Hamas welcomed President Donald Trump's public call for Israel to cease its military attacks on Gaza, the Shehab Wire reported. Movement spokesman Hazem Qassem characterized the remarks as confirmation of Trump's commitment to advancing a ceasefire agreement, according to the report.
The statement marked Hamas's response to Trump's recent comments urging Israel to end its ongoing operations in the coastal territory. The exchange came amid months of sustained conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in Gaza.
