Washington (AFP) – US President Donald Trump said Friday he believed Hamas was ready for "lasting peace" and told Israel to stop bombing Gaza, after the Palestinian militant group declared it was ready to free hostages under his ceasefire plan.

"Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

"Right now, it's far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East."

Trump also shared the Hamas statement on his social media -- in an almost unheard of move for a US president -- as did the White House.

Trump later posted a short video message in which he hailed Hamas's statement and thanked US allies including Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan for mediating.

"This is a very special day, maybe unprecedented," Trump said from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, adding that "I look forward to having the hostages come home to their parents."
