Washington(The COW News Digital)U.S. President Donald Trump has once again hinted that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be finalized soon, raising hopes for a breakthrough in one of the region’s most protracted conflicts.
Speaking to reporters, Trump revealed that his Gaza peace plan proposals had been met with “very positive” responses from both Israeli and Arab leaders. He expressed optimism that the long-awaited deal would not only halt fighting in Gaza but also pave the way for broader peace across the Middle East.
“All parties want to make a deal,” Trump said, adding that he hopes to finalize the agreement during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House later today. “For the first time, everyone is united for a common purpose,” he stated. “Something significant is about to happen, and we will make it happen.”
According to reports, today’s White House meeting is expected to focus on finalizing the framework for the ceasefire, with U.S. officials working intensively with Israeli and Arab counterparts to resolve remaining issues.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance also confirmed that American negotiators are engaged in “highly complex” discussions aimed at securing not just a ceasefire but also a mechanism for the release of hostages. “We are closer than ever to a deal,” Vance said, cautioning that the process still faces significant challenges.
The Trump administration’s push for a Gaza ceasefire comes amid mounting international pressure to end the violence that has caused widespread civilian casualties and regional instability. Observers note that Trump has repeatedly suggested that a comprehensive peace deal is within reach, signaling his determination to deliver a diplomatic win ahead of the next U.S. election cycle.
This is not the first time Trump has voiced confidence about progress. Just two days ago, he claimed that negotiations to end the Gaza war and secure the release of hostages were nearing completion. While previous ceasefire attempts have faltered, the administration insists that the current talks have united key players around a shared goal of ending hostilities and preventing future flare-ups.
If successful, the agreement could mark a major turning point for Gaza and the wider region, potentially opening doors for renewed peace efforts between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
