Netanyahu Accepts Trump’s Ceasefire Proposal as Iran-Israel War Pauses
In a significant development in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a ceasefire proposal put forward by former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to an official statement released by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Ceasefire Announcement Follows Two Weeks of Intense Clashes
The statement from Netanyahu’s office comes shortly after multiple media outlets in Iran and Israel began reporting that a ceasefire had already come into effect, ending nearly two weeks of escalating hostilities between the two regional powers.
Although Netanyahu has confirmed his acceptance of the ceasefire terms, the exact timing and conditions remain unclear.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu has accepted the ceasefire proposal. He will deliver a formal statement shortly,” the office noted.
Trump Announces Ceasefire on Social Media
Earlier, Donald Trump announced on social media that Iran and Israel had reached an agreement on a "comprehensive and total ceasefire.” He stated that the ceasefire would go into effect approximately six hours after his announcement, by midnight Eastern Time.
CNN reports that both Iranian and Israeli news outlets have acknowledged that a ceasefire is in effect, although there is confusion regarding its exact timing and enforcement terms.
Conflicting Narratives from Iran and Israel
Iran’s state-run Press TV reported that the ceasefire took effect after four rounds of Iranian missile strikes on Israeli-occupied territories. Meanwhile, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency posted a brief message on Telegram stating that "the ceasefire is now in the implementation phase."
Israeli outlets Channel 12 and Ynet have also reported the start of the ceasefire. However, Iran’s state media took a more assertive tone, claiming the truce was “imposed on the enemy”, without specifying exact details.
🌍 Why It Matters:
This marks the first formal de-escalation between Iran and Israel since hostilities flared, raising hopes of regional stabilization — though analysts warn that fragile conditions and vague terms could undermine long-term peace.
