Meanhwile, international reactions have been pouring in following Hamas’s positive response to US President Donald Trump’s plan to free Israeli hostages in Gaza and end the nearly two-year conflict.

Below are some of the main reactions from around the world:

United States

“Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay,” Trump said on Saturday on his Truth Social page.

“Let’s get this done, FAST.”

Trump on Friday had expressed appreciation that “Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing” — but Israel said on Saturday it was continuing with its military offensive in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday he hoped to “bring back all our hostages… during the Sukkot holidays,” which begin on Monday and last for a week.

Netanyahu said he had instructed negotiators to travel to Egypt to “finalise the technical details” of a deal on Gaza.

He vowed that “Hamas will be disarmed… either diplomatically via Trump’s plan or militarily by us.”

Earlier, Netanyahu’s office said Israel was working “to end the war in accordance with the principles set out by Israel, which align with President Trump’s vision.”
