WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was in the “final throes” of reaching a Middle East peace deal.
“We’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal,” he told reporters on his return from an NBA Finals game.
When asked whether it would be matter of days or weeks, he said it would take “two or three days.”
Iran and Israel said Monday that hostilities between them had halted, after the two countries exchanged strikes that threatened to reignite the Middle East war.
Tehran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday over Israel’s ongoing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel then struck back, despite efforts by Trump to dissuade Netanyahu.
