US President Donald Trump told the Axios news site, as cited by Times of Israel that talks over Washington’s plan to end the war in Gaza are “at their final stages,” expressing hope that an agreement could be announced within the next two days, following his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House tomorrow.
“Everybody has come together to get a deal, but we still have to get it done,” Trump told Axios reporter Barak Ravid in a phone interview, adding that, “The Arab countries were fantastic to work with on this, and Hamas is coming with them. [Hamas has] great respect for the Arab world.”
“The Arab world wants peace, Israel wants peace and Bibi wants peace,” Trump says, using Netanyahu’s nickname.
Trump added that his plan aims not only to end the Gaza war but also to open the door to wider regional peace.
“If we get this done, it will be a great day for Israel and for the Middle East,” he says. “It will be the first chance for real peace in the Middle East. But we have to get it done first.”
Speaking on Israel’s Channel 12, Ravid added that Trump hopes to finalize an agreement during Monday’s meeting and announce it the same day or the next.
The US-Israeli genocidal war on Gaza has killed over 66,000 Palestinians and has drawn worldwide condemnation.
