Trump said he had recently spoken with people involved in efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, according to a Reuters report.
United States President Donald Trump said on Friday (local time) that a ceasefire could be possible in Gaza and an agreement could be reached between Israel and Hamas as early as next week. He made the remarks at the White House during an event celebrating a Congo-Rwanda accord,.
When asked about a possible ceasefire in war-ridden Gaza, Trump said, “We think within the next week, we’re going to get a ceasefire,” reported AFP.
Trump also said he had recently spoken with people involved in efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, according to a Reuters report.
This comes months after the United States brokered a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel during the start of this year as former US President Joe Biden passed the reins to Donald Trump.
In January this year, a phase-wise ceasefire was announced between Israel and Hamas. However, just months later in March, Israel declared the ceasefire over and started pounding Gaza again.
The war, which was triggered after Hamas’ devastating attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, has been going on for about 20 months now.
While Israel lost over 1,200 people during Hamas’s attack, Gaza’s health ministry claims that Israel’s military campaign has killed at least 56,331 people, mostly civilians, in Gaza.
