Trump says Gaza truce may be just days away

Tavsif:

U.S. President Donald Trump said there is a "very good chance" of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza this week or next, following his second meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump noted progress had been made but cautioned that "nothing is definite" in war, and mentioned a recent White House meeting involving his envoy Steve Witkoff, Israeli Minister Ron Dermer, and a Qatari diplomat that may have helped advance negotiations. He added that the goal was a ceasefire and the return of hostages. Hamas confirmed it had agreed to release 10 hostages as part of ongoing talks, but said negotiations remain difficult due to Israel's "intransigence," with key sticking points including aid access, Israeli troop withdrawals, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire.
