At a White House meeting, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conferred on the ‘Gaza Peace Plan.’ Trump indicated that the peace deal is imminent. Trump highlighted that Arab and Muslim nations are united in their desire for peace in the Middle East and are fully engaged in the process. He specified that countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are ‘very much involved,’ citing his recent discussions with their leaders. The meeting began with Trump receiving Netanyahu. In a prior social media post, Trump expressed his belief in the potential for significant progress in the Middle East, declaring widespread support for a historic agreement. The U.S. has introduced a 21-point peace plan, which aims to resolve the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This initiative follows a period of stalled negotiations between Israel and Hamas, compounded by Israeli airstrikes earlier in the month. The proposal also reflects mounting international calls to end the war that began on October 7, 2023, following the Hamas attack. The Gaza health ministry reports that over 66,000 Palestinians have lost their lives due to Israel’s military actions in the region.
