Trump says he believes Hamas 'ready for a lasting peace'

Explosions were reported over Gaza early Saturday, as uncertainty remains over whether Israel has scaled back its military operations. US President Donald Trump has urged Israel to stop the bombing, claiming Hamas is ready for peace and has accepted parts of his 20-point Gaza peace plan, including releasing hostages and transferring power. However, Hamas rejected demands for disarmament and foreign oversight. Israel reiterated its conditions for ending the war but did not address Hamas' objections.
