‘Very close’: Donald Trump says ‘good chance’ for Gaza peace deal; may visit Middle East by end of week

President Trump announced a Gaza peace deal with Hamas is ‘very close,’ potentially traveling to the Middle East Sunday. Negotiations, involving Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, are based on a 20-point proposal for a ceasefire and Hamas disarmament. However, Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal and permanent ceasefire, seeking assurances against renewed military action.
