(MENAFN) President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Israel had accepted an initial retreat from Gaza, which he characterized as a critical move toward a truce and the start of the long-anticipated captive and inmate swap with Hamas.

He said "after negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas.”

Trump stated on Truth Social that "when Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be immediately effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 year catastrophe."

Donald Trump pressed the Palestinian organization Hamas to quickly finalize the ongoing negotiations for both a captive release and a peace deal in Gaza.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, "I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off."
