Trump says ‘very close’ to Gaza ceasefire deal
The US president has said he believes his administration will have an announcement later today “or maybe tomorrow”. “We have a chance of that,” he told reporters from the Oval Office.
The White House said yesterday that Israel has “signed off” on a ceasefire proposal that the US sent to Hamas for consideration.
The Palestinian group said it is still evaluating the plan. As we reported earlier, Hamas said in a statement today that it is consulting with other Palestinian groups and factions on the ground in Gaza on the proposal.
A Hamas official said yesterday that the US-backed plan its current form would only result in “the continuation of killing and famine” in Gaza.
Hmm where have I heard that before, recent history repeating.

Since then Netanyahu has only been adding more demands and red lines while killing more civilians and destroying more civilian infrastructure.
I doubt anything will come of it this time :( However Netanyahu has become a bit of a nuisance for Trump, at some point he'll lash out at him. But will he actually tell him to stop like he stopped Netanyahu from bombing Iran again.
The last hope for Gaza, a temper tantrum from TACO... Has the world really sunk this low.
Maybe bring this up again (2021)
Trump must end Gaza aid scheme, back UN agencies: CAIR
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has urged US President Donald Trump’s administration to end its support for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation amid deadly violence and chaotic scenes at aid distribution points this week.
“It is obvious that putting the task of distributing food and aid to the people of Gaza in the hands of the Israeli government and American mercenaries has been a terrible idea and a complete failure,” CAIR said in a statement.
“Opening fire on starving people as they desperately seek food is a level of criminality that cannot be tolerated,” it added.
“We call on President Trump to end the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and return the task of distributing food and aid to international organisations like UNRWA and others qualified to do so.”
The UN and other leading humanitarian groups have also criticised the foundation for failing to adhere to humanitarian principles, such as independence and neutrality, and said they will not cooperate with its operations in Gaza.
