US President Donald Trump, in a phone interview with Reuters, tells the news agency he’s received a “very good response” from both Israel and Arab leaders about the US plan for an end to the war in Gaza.

“Everybody wants to make the deal,” Trump says, a day before he is slated to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House about the deal.

Trump says he hopes to finalize the deal during the meeting tomorrow, echoing comments he made earlier tonight to journalist Barak Ravid, that he hopes to announce a deal within the next two days.

Trump says the proposal is aimed not only at ending the war in Gaza, but at achieving a broader peace in the Middle East.
