US President Donald Trump said today that he is close to an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and return the hostages held by "Hamas", Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
"Looks like we have a deal for Gaza. I think it's a deal that will bring the hostages home; it'll be a deal that will end the war," Trump said, without giving further details.
Earlier, the US presented a 21-point peace plan for the Middle East, which should end the nearly two-year-long war between Israel and "Hamas" amid general policy debates at the 80th annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York, which brought together international leaders this week.
The proposal was sent on Tuesday to representatives of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff announced.
The US president, who remains Israel's staunchest ally on the international stage, said today that he had spoken yesterday with representatives of Middle Eastern countries, as well as with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
