Trump claims Israel–Hamas ceasefire deal ‘very close,’ says, ‘talks could happen this week’

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, is scheduled to wrap up a four-day trip to Washington amid discussions regarding a potential 60-day ceasefire agreement with Hamas in Gaza.
The ceasefire discussions follow Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack that killed 1,200 people and abducted around 250, with Israel demanding Hamas's complete disarmament to ensure lasting peace.
Recent initiatives include an Israeli proposal outlining a plan for Israeli military forces to operate within Gaza throughout the ceasefire period, alongside Hamas’s tentative willingness to negotiate releasing some hostages in exchange for Palestinian detainees.
President Donald Trump stated negotiators are 'very close' to a ceasefire deal, while a senior Israeli official said no permanent ceasefire is possible without removing Hamas.
If implemented, the 60-day ceasefire could create a window for permanent talks and hostage releases, but political pressures suggest Israel may resume military operations afterward.
