Ivanka Trump has zero plans of returning the White House to help her father run the country during his second administration, bluntly declaring: “I hate politics.”

President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, who was among his top advisers during his first stint, told the Skinny Confidential’s “Him & Her Show” podcast on Tuesday that she is steering clear of Washington DC this time around.

“I love policy and impact. I hate politics. And unfortunately, the two are not separable,” Ivanka, 43, said, adding it is a “very dark, negative business.”

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Hamas has expressed readiness to agree to a ceasefire following strong remarks from former U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had issued a stern warning, urging the militant group to halt its attacks or face severe consequences.

Hamas leaders have conveyed their willingness to consider a ceasefire under specific conditions, which include easing restrictions on Gaza, halting Israeli military operations, and releasing Palestinian prisoners. These conditions, often termed as "riders," have been a contentious aspect of ceasefire negotiations in the past.

Israeli officials have yet to officially respond to the outlined conditions, but sources indicate that the nation is closely evaluating the proposal while continuing its military operations against Hamas strongholds.

Trump's involvement has reignited debates over the role of international leaders in brokering peace in the region. While some view his strong rhetoric as a push toward resolution, others fear it might exacerbate tensions further.

Global leaders and humanitarian organizations have called for a swift resolution to prevent further civilian casualties and to address the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The international community remains divided, with some urging restraint from both sides and others supporting Israel’s right to defend itself.

As negotiations take shape, the world watches closely, hoping for a breakthrough that could bring an end to the bloodshed.

In a breakthrough moment after weeks of escalating violence, Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire accompanied by the release of hostages held in Gaza. The deal, brokered with the support of international mediators, has been hailed as a critical step toward de-escalating tensions in the region.

According to official statements, the agreement includes a temporary cessation of hostilities, allowing for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza and civilians to seek safety. As part of the deal, Hamas has agreed to release a number of hostages, including women and children, who were reportedly held in Gaza during the conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the agreement, emphasizing that while the ceasefire is a positive development, Israel remains committed to ensuring long-term security for its citizens. "This is an important step, but our vigilance will not waver," Netanyahu said.

Hamas representatives described the deal as a necessary measure to protect civilians in Gaza and address urgent humanitarian needs.

International leaders, including representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations, played key roles in facilitating the agreement. "This moment shows the power of dialogue, even in the most challenging circumstances," said a UN spokesperson.

However, the road to lasting peace remains uncertain. Analysts caution that deep-seated mistrust and unresolved political grievances could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire. Both sides have faced widespread criticism over the humanitarian impact of the conflict, with calls for accountability and justice for civilians affected by the violence.

As the ceasefire takes effect, the focus now shifts to ensuring that both parties adhere to the agreement and explore pathways for more enduring peace in the region.
