"Gaza peace not too distant," states Donald Trump, Netanyahu looks towards a "new deal" for captives.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, expressing his desire for the conflict in Gaza to cease. He indicated that he envisions peace as being achievable in what he considers a "not-too-distant future."
"I want to see the conflict end, and I believe it will come to a halt at some time, likely not far off," Trump stated when asked if he would fulfill his campaign pledge to resolve the situation in Gaza, as reported by Reuters. He mentioned that efforts are underway to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, although obtaining the freedom of all captives is "a lengthy process."
Trump's comments were made during a press interaction with Netanyahu in the Oval Office following their much-anticipated discussion amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Netanyahu's perspective on the Gaza war's future
Netanyahu noted that he talked with Trump about the US president's "bold vision" for Gaza's future, referring to a plan for the US to take control of the territory, a suggestion that Trump had raised several times during the early days of his presidency.
