In response to recent comments made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, the Palestinian militant group Hamas has declared its willingness to participate in peace negotiations aimed at resolving the ongoing hostage crisis in Gaza. This statement comes amid continued tensions in the region, with a recent rally in Jerusalem calling for the release of hostages still held in the area. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin, Netanyahu, has dismissed Hamas’s announcement as ‘spin’ and reiterated that no substantial progress has been made in the situation.
