Speaking to reporters in Washington, Trump welcomed Hamas’ willingness to negotiate and said that a deal on Gaza is possible soon. He noted that there is still much to be done in Gaza and that the U.S. is sending a large amount of aid to the region.
Trump also mentioned plans to discuss Iran with the Israeli Prime Minister, claiming that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely dismantled, though he acknowledged the possibility of it restarting.
On the other side, Hamas announced that it is ready to take part in a new round of serious negotiations. The group responded positively to proposals put forward by Qatar and the U.S., which include prisoner exchange and a long-term ceasefire agreement.
