President Trump said Sunday that talks with the Palestinian militant group Hamas have been “very successful, and proceeding rapidly.”
“There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East,” the president said in a post on his Truth Social post.
“These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details,” he added.
In recent months, international pressure has mounted on Israel as humanitarian conditions have become dire in Gaza, with thousands dead in the war’s wake and famine in some areas.
On Friday, Hamas said it could accept portions of a peace deal to end the war in Gaza from the Trump administration, including Israeli hostages being freed. The militant group also said other elements of the peace deal would need further consultation.
The president took a victory lap Saturday in the wake of Israel and Hamas signaling backing for his peace plan, but pushed for Hamas to “move quickly.”
“I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off,” he continued. “I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!”
