The deal included an immediate ceasefire, lifting the blockade on Gaza, and allowing the entry of urgent humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1419\" data-end=\"1725\">Sources confirmed that Witkoff promised Trump would issue an official statement thanking Hamas for the initiative, followed by a public call for a ceasefire and the launch of comprehensive negotiations for a lasting end to hostilities\u2014including a full opening of the crossings into the long-besieged Strip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"2092\">However, two days after Hamas fulfilled its end of the deal, none of the promises were kept. The White House issued no statement, border crossings remained closed, and the war continued unabated. Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim stated that Trump completely reneged on the agreement, turning the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/04\/12\/hamas-releases-video-of-israeli-american-soldier-idan-alexander-accusing-netanyahu-of-abandoning-prisoners\/\">Idan<\/a> into a broken political transaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2191\">Naim said explicitly: \u201cTrump did nothing.
