Hamas wants ceasefire agreement — Trump
Donald Trump said late on Monday that Hamas is keen on having a ceasefire with Israel amid theongoing Gaza conflict.
"They [Hamas] want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire," Trump said at the start of a White House dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said there was an opportunity to reach an agreement quickly.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that Witkoff "intends to travel to Doha later this week" to participate in the mediation talks.
Leavitt heaped praise on Qatar and Egypt for being "incredibly helpful partners in mediating these negotiations and discussions to bring peace to this region and end this conflict once and for all."
