Gaza peace deal nears completion as Trump, Netanyahu hold talks

US President Donald Trump confirmed that negotiations for a peace agreement aimed at ending the ongoing war in Gaza are in their final stages.

The deal reportedly involves Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas, and several Arab nations. Trump described the potential agreement as “a great day for Israel and the Middle East” if finalized, and said it could mark the first chance for real peace in the region.

Trump is scheduled to meet Netanyahu at the White House to discuss the details, following earlier discussions involving US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law.

While the full terms remain confidential, the agreement is expected to include the return of hostages held in Gaza, commitments to a ceasefire, and renewed dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian representatives.

International observers and Arab nations have been closely monitoring the talks. Analysts say the inclusion of all major parties could represent a significant step toward stabilizing the region and potentially ending the hostilities that have caused widespread civilian and military casualties.

The US administration has emphasized its role as mediator, and both Israel and Hamas have signaled tentative support for the framework outlined in preliminary discussions.

The developments come amid ongoing concern over humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where civilian infrastructure has been heavily affected by the conflict.

Officials have highlighted that the agreement, if finalized, could facilitate the delivery of aid, reconstruction efforts, and broader regional cooperation.

As the final stage of negotiations continues, global attention remains focused on Washington and the anticipated White House meeting, with hopes that the initiative will provide a durable resolution to the longstanding conflict between Israel and Hamas.
