Former U.S. President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the U.S. to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. The leaders focused on the urgent need to reduce violence in Gaza and explore the possibility of a temporary ceasefire.
Trump described the talks as “encouraging” and said he believes there’s a real window for progress. He emphasized that ending the fighting, even temporarily, could bring relief to civilians on both sides and help create space for further dialogue. “A ceasefire helps everyone — it’s a step toward peace, even if small,” he said during the meeting.
Netanyahu expressed appreciation for Trump’s continued support for Israel. While reaffirming that Israel must protect its citizens and respond to ongoing threats, he acknowledged the importance of pursuing diplomatic options. “We’re open to efforts that can ease the suffering of innocent people and restore some calm,” he said.
Although a ceasefire agreement has not yet been finalized, both Trump and Netanyahu said conversations are ongoing. They remain hopeful that a break in the violence could be reached soon, offering a brief but important pause for families affected by the months-long conflict.
