US President Donald Trump expressed his hope to reach a ceasefire in Gaza “next week.”
When asked about the ongoing efforts to reach an agreement on Gaza, Trump told reporters: “We hope that we will reach a solution to this issue next week.”
Over the past few weeks, Trump has repeated time schedules to reach an agreement, without making tangible progress.
The United States supports a 60 -day ceasefire proposal, including the release of the hostages in Gaza in the stages and withdrawal of Israeli forces from specific areas of the Strip, in addition to resuming negotiations aimed at ending the conflict permanently.
The ceasefire negotiations between Israel and the Hamas movement, which took place in Doha a few days ago.
Hamas calls for guarantees to stop the war permanently after the sixty -day truce, which Israel rejects.
On Sunday, dozens of Palestinians were killed in continuous Israeli bombing on separate areas of Gaza, according to medical sources in the Strip.
