Lebanese media on October 4 continued to prioritize the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, with early reports detailing Hamas's conditional acceptance of President Trump's peace proposal and Trump's call for Israel to cease bombing Gaza. As the day progressed, reports indicated Israel was advancing preparations for the first phase of Trump's plan, even as its operations continued in Gaza City. By early afternoon, Hezbollah official Qassem criticized Trump's plan, stating it served an "expanded Israel" project, and also attacked the government on sovereignty and electoral law. Later in the evening, Trump issued an ultimatum to Hamas, stating that if it did not act immediately, all options would be on the table.
