 "Trump to meet Netanyahu again to push Gaza ceasefire deal")
US President Donald Trump said he will meet again with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday to push for a Gaza deal, a day after the two leaders had dinner at the White House.
“He’s coming over later. We’re going to be talking about, I would say, almost exclusively Gaza. We’ve got to get that solved,” Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting in the White House.
‘It’s a tragedy, and he wants to get it solved, and I want to get it solved, and I think the other side wants to."
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said he was hopeful for a deal between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, who are holding indirect talks in Qatar that he will join later this week.
“We are hopeful that by end of this week we will have an agreement that will bring us into a 60-day ceasefire,” Witkoff said at the meeting.
“Ten live hostages will be released. Nine deceased will be released.”
Netanyahu is in Washington until Thursday on his third visit to the US capital since Trump returned to power in January.
On Tuesday the Israeli premier was also meeting Vice President JD Vance, Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and senators on Capitol Hill.
