WASHINGTON, Jul 2 (AP/UNB)-President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel has agreed to terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, during which the U.S. and other parties would work toward an end to the war. Trump pushed Hamas to accept the deal.
“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump said.
The news comes as Trump prepares to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House on Monday. The U.S. president has shown increased interest in a ceasefire and hostage agreement in the region after the U.S. brokered a peace agreement between Israel and Iran.
