Washington: United States President Donald Trump on Friday night (local time) asked Israel to immediately stop bombing Gaza. Trump's statement came shortly after militant group Hamas partially accepted his peace plan for Gaza so that hostages could be taken out safely and quickly.

"Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that," Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social. Egypt and Qatar are key negotiators of the peace deal.

"We are already in discussions on the details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East," he added.
