President Donald Trump Calls for Urgent Action in Gaza. President Donald Trump has urged swift action to end the Gaza war as indirect peace talks begin in Egypt. The negotiations are based on a U.S.-drafted peace plan and are taking place on the eve of the war’s second anniversary. Talks focus on the first ceasefire phase, including partial Israeli withdrawal and a hostage-prisoner swap. Trump has warned Hamas of a severe military offensive if they do not surrender control of Gaza. He reportedly gave Hamas a 72-hour deadline to respond to the deal, though experts caution the process could be prolonged. Hamas has shown partial acceptance of the plan, depending on conditions on the ground. Key parts of the peace plan remain unsettled including Hamas' disarmament and Gaza’s future governance. Despite Trump’s order to stop, Israeli airstrikes continue, with Gaza’s death toll at 67,160 since October 2023. [Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT]
