US President Donald Trump says he hopes a Gaza ceasefire will be reached “sometime next week.”
Three days ago, Trump told reporters a deal would be reached “within the next week.”
Trump says he will discuss Gaza and “the great success we had with Iran” during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House next week.
“We want to get the hostages back,” he adds.
