Trump to Host Netanyahu Amid Hopes for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal

Former US President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing hope for a breakthrough in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks this week. The proposed deal includes a 60-day truce, phased Israeli troop withdrawals, and a hostages-for-prisoners exchange. Mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the US, talks continue in Doha. While Trump is optimistic, major disagreements remain, particularly over Hamas’s demands and Israeli resistance. The conflict has caused immense humanitarian suffering, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed.
