Hamas writes letter to Trump seeking 60-day pause in hostilities

Hamas has drafted a letter to President Donald Trump, asking the American president to guarantee a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the immediate release of half of the hostages being detained within Gaza, Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in negotiations.

The letter is expected to be delivered to Trump this week.

Trump, who has been trying to help serve as a peacemaker on the global stage, has previously called for Hamas to release all the hostages it took captive during the heinous Oct. 7, 2023 attack against Israel.
