Possible Gaza deal discussion by Trump: potential agreement discussion next week mentioned
In a significant development, ongoing discussions to secure a ceasefire between the USA, Israel, and Islamic Hamas in the Gaza conflict have reportedly achieved a significant breakthrough. The negotiations, facilitated by mediators, are aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
The latest updates indicate that Israel has presented a new map outlining a more extensive withdrawal of its forces than previously proposed. This move is seen as a positive step towards de-escalation.
The talks have been underway following multiple communications between US President Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC. The US is reportedly pressing Israel to hold off from resuming hostilities, contributing to optimism about reaching a deal.
However, the specific terms of the proposed agreement remain undisclosed. One point of contention in the negotiations is a "good faith" clause, which Hamas has expressed concern about, viewing it as a potential loophole for Israel to restart the conflict. Hamas has sought to remove this clause to ensure a more stable ceasefire.
The deal, if finalized, is hoped to include the release of 18 living hostages from the Gaza Strip and the remains of ten hostages during a 60-day ceasefire. The exact terms, including any potential compromises on the "good faith" clause and other issues, remain unclear.
Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, has expressed optimism about finalizing the deal by the end of the week. However, as of Tuesday, there has been no official statement from Witkoff on the status of the talks.
President Trump has stated that there is a high chance of reaching an agreement this week or next week, but he also emphasized that there is nothing definitive about the ceasefire.
Progress in the talks was reported by "Axios", following a meeting between high-ranking representatives of the USA, Israel, and Qatar in the White House on Tuesday. The meeting reportedly concerned a deal for a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces during a ceasefire.
Despite the complexity of the negotiations and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, the US is hopeful for a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. However, the exact details of the deal are yet to be disclosed.
