US President Meets Netanyahu to Discuss Path Toward Truce
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump expressed confidence on Monday that Hamas is prepared to engage in ceasefire talks with Israel. Speaking from the White House during a joint appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump indicated that negotiations to end the Gaza conflict could be moving forward.
“They want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire,” Trump stated in response to a question regarding ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters. His remarks signal a potential shift in momentum toward a truce in the region, despite persistent violence on the ground.
The meeting between Trump and Netanyahu was aimed at discussing diplomatic strategies to de-escalate tensions and pursue a lasting ceasefire agreement in Gaza. While skepticism remains, Trump’s comments suggest both parties may be edging closer to dialogue.
