Netanyahu signals openness to Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan: Sources

Hamas released a statement on Sunday denying that it had received "any new proposals" for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after U.S. President Donald Trump said that "intense negotiations were ongoing."

Trump said in a social media post on Friday, "All of the Countries within the Region are involved, Hamas is very much aware of these discussions, and Israel has been informed at all levels, including Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu."

But Hamas said in its Sunday statement that it had received nothing new from the mediating parties.

Hamas said that negotiations "have been suspended since the failed assassination attempt" against top Hamas officials in Doha, referring to the Israeli strike in the Qatari capital on Sept. 9.

"Hamas reiterates its readiness to consider any proposals that may be presented by the mediators with full positivity and responsibility, in a manner that safeguards the national rights of our people," the statement said.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a post to X on Sunday that Israeli warplanes bombed 140 targets across the Gaza Strip over the previous 24 hours.

Strikes targeted what the IDF said were "military buildings," fighters and "infrastructure" used by enemy forces.

Meanwhile, the IDF said its ground forces continued operations deep within Gaza City, the strip's largest urban area and the focus of a major ongoing IDF offensive.

Troops of the three IDF divisions operating in the city -- the 36th, 98th and 162nd -- engaged enemy fighters and destroyed buildings in recent operations, the IDF said.

President Donald Trump said that "inspired and productive" discussions are ongoing on Gaza, in a post on social media Friday.

"Intense negotiations" have been carried out for four days and will carry on until an agreement is successfully completed, he said.

All of the countries within the region are involved in these discussions. Hamas is aware of the talks and the state of Israel, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been informed of them as well, Trump said.

"There is more Goodwill and Enthusiasm for getting a Deal done, after so many decades, than I have ever seen before. Everyone is excited to put this period of Death and Darkness behind them. It is an Honor to be a part of this Negotiation," Trump said on his social media platform.
