Trump sees ‘progress’ on Gaza, raising hopes for ceasefire

JERUSALEM: US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that “great progress” was being made to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as a new ceasefire push began more than 20 months since the start of the conflict. “I think great progress is being made on Gaza,” Trump told reporters ahead of a NATO summit in the Netherlands, adding that his special envoy Steve Witkoff had told him “Gaza is very close.” He linked his optimism about imminent “very good news” for the Gaza Strip to a ceasefire agreed on Tuesday between Israel and Hamas backer Iran to end their 12-day war.
