US President Donald Trump said on Monday that there is “good news coming” regarding the situation in Gaza, noting that efforts are being made to stop the ongoing fighting.
In a statement to reporters, Trump explained: “We have spoken with Israel, and we want to see if we can stop this whole situation as soon as possible.”
According to sources within his administration, Trump is pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt the war and has expressed his displeasure with the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Sources revealed that the US administration has opened an indirect channel of communication with Hamas via Palestinian-American businessman Bishara Bahbah, in an attempt to prepare the ground for new negotiations regarding a prisoner exchange and ceasefire.
This step comes within the framework of an initiative led by the United States through its special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
Diplomatic sources confirmed that the US administration has asked”Israel” to postpone its escalation on the ground and allow expanded humanitarian aid deliveries to civilians in Gaza.
This is aimed at creating a favorable environment for resuming talks, despite the ongoing daily Israeli airstrikes on the Strip.
