Trump wants Gaza ceasefire “as soon as possible”: report

US President Donald Trump wants a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange deal in Gaza between “Israel” and Hamas “as soon as possible,” one source with direct knowledge of the matter told Axios.

Trump’s goal also including expanding the "Abraham Accords,” adding more Arab neighbours to the list that normalized with “Israel”

"We think we're going to have some pretty big announcements on countries that are now coming into the Abraham peace accords, and we're hoping for normalization across an array of countries that maybe people would have never contemplated would come in," White House Envoy Steve Witkoff said in an interview with CNBC.

The report adds that Netanyahu wants to meet with Trump at the White House to celebrate the “historic victory,” as dubbed by the former, against Iran’s nuclear program, although no date has been set yet and only initial discussions have taken place.

One official suggested the visit could be on the second week in July. The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Netanyahu is interested in coming to Washington and that Trump is open to the visit.

A senior Hamas official told BBC that mediators have intensified efforts to broker a new ceasefire deal, after talks stalled the last time. However, no new proposals have been put forward so far.

Hebrew media cited “Israeli” officials saying that “major disagreements” remain unsolved so far in this early stage.
