US President Donald Trump reiterates his belief that a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal could be inked next week.
A reporter aboard Air Force One tells him that Hamas responded positively to the latest ceasefire proposal.
“Well, that’s good,” Trump responds, before acknowledging that he hasn’t been briefed yet on the matter.
Asked about Iran, Trump says its nuclear program was set back “permanently,” but says Tehran may restart its program in different locations than the ones hit by the US and Israel last month.
Trump says Iran has not agreed to inspections of its nuclear program or to give up enriching uranium.
He says that he’ll discuss the issue with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the Israeli premier’s visit to the White House on Monday.
