After brokering a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Donald Trump is urging Israel and Hamas to make a deal that would stop the 20-month-long war in Gaza that has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and over a thousand Israelis. “MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!” the U.S. President posted on Truth Social early Sunday.

US President Donald Trump claims a ceasefire in Gaza is possible within a week. One of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's closest aides is in Washington, DC this week, and Trump's Middle East envoy is reportedly holding talks with Hamas to secure a deal.

President Trump raised expectations last week when he told reporters in the Oval Office that there could be a ceasefire agreement within the next week.
