The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated to the press on Friday afternoon that an agreement to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and bring back the Israeli hostages still held captive is close to being finalized.
"I think maybe we have an agreement on Gaza, or we're very close to reaching one, we'll let you know," Trump said as he greeted reporters. "I think it's an agreement that will bring the hostages back. It's going to be an agreement that will end the war," he added.
Trump's comments come in the context of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly taking place in New York. At this event, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech today in which he defended his army's offensive in the Gaza Strip and exposed the hypocrisy of some countries.
