US President Donald Trump expressed strong optimism, “a very good chance” that a 60‑day Gaza ceasefire could be agreed this week or next, following two Oval Office meetings with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The talks focused on freeing hostages, with Hamas reportedly agreeing to release ten captives amid ongoing, “tough” negotiations mediated by Qatar. While Israel continues military operations killing dozens in Gaza, its military chief says conditions now favor a truce. Outstanding issues include ensuring sustained aid flow, drawing Israeli withdrawal lines, and formal guarantees of a lasting ceasefire. (PC: X/@WhiteHouse & ABC News)
