Trump says Gaza ceasefire talks are ‘pretty good’
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday there were “pretty good talks going on” regarding Gaza, when asked about the future of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but he offered little detail at a White House press conference.
Trump was asked whether phase two would come to fruition.
“We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows, but we’ll see what happens,” he said at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We have some pretty good talks going on.”
Starmer reiterated support for a two-state solution, which calls for creating a state for Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza alongside Israel.
“Yes, I believe that the two-state solution is ultimately the only way for a lasting peace in the region,” Starmer said in the press conference, when asked about Trump’s proposal for a US takeover of Gaza and a permanent displacement of Palestinians.
