Hamas has transferred administrative control of Gaza to Palestinian technocrats and agreed to release all Israeli captives, signaling a potential shift toward diplomacy. While Hamas has declined to commit to disarmament, the group has expressed willingness to enter peace talks through mediators, raising hopes for a reduction in regional tensions. President Donald Trump hailed the move as unprecedented, declaring Hamas ready for peace and calling for Israel to halt military strikes in Gaza immediately. Reports from Israeli military sources indicate troop activity in Gaza is being reduced, aligning with Trump’s call for a de-escalation. WATCH
