Trump says “could be” Gaza deal by next week

US President Donald Trump said Friday there "could be a Gaza deal" next week and that he was optimistic, although the situation could change.

Asked aboard Air Force One how optimistic he was about a ceasefire deal, Trump said "very," but added "it changes day to day".

In response to reports Hamas had responded positively to proposed truce talks, he said: "That's good. They haven't briefed me on it. We have to get it over with. We have to do something about Gaza."
