Hamas has reportedly sent a letter to the White House requesting a 'hudna' during which Israel would halt military operations and targeted killings
Assessment
Hamas's reported letter to the White House requesting a hudna signals a strategic effort to engage the Trump administration as a mediator for a temporary ceasefire. The demand for Israel to halt military operations and targeted killings indicates Hamas's priorities in any truce. The response from Washington and Jerusalem will determine whether this overture leads to any diplomatic progress.
