The US and Israeli governments are very close to reaching an agreement on President Donald Trump's proposed peace plan for Gaza, but the radical Palestinian movement Hamas has not yet given its consent.
This was reported by journalist Barak Ravid to the American online portal Axios, citing his sources.
„A senior US official said that after talks between US President's envoy Stephen Witkoff and the US leader's son-in-law Jared Kushner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US and Israel are very close to an agreement on Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza. The official added that Hamas's approval is still awaited“, Ravid wrote in X.
Trump expects The details of the Gaza peace agreement will be agreed upon at his meeting with Netanyahu at the White House on September 29. The American president assured that “everyone wants to make a deal“. He reported that he had received “a very good response“ about possible agreements from Israel and Arab states.
In an interview with Axios, the American leader said that consultations to resolve the conflict in the Gaza Strip are “in their final stages“, which could lead to a broader settlement of the conflict in the Middle East.
In recent days, Trump has repeatedly expressed confidence that an agreement to resolve the conflict in the Gaza Strip, including the release of hostages held by Hamas, can be reached soon.
