Posted by: lukwago J in World news July 8, 2025

President Donald Trump recently shared his optimism regarding the progress of talks aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza as he welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington DC.

Trump, during a press interaction at the White House, expressed his belief that Hamas is ready to agree to a ceasefire, indicating positive developments in the peace process.

Despite rounds of discussions between Israel and Hamas in Qatar showing no immediate breakthrough, both parties are committed to continuing negotiations.

Trump, responding to a query about the obstacles to a peace deal, emphasized that the discussions are advancing smoothly without any major hold-ups.

The issue of potentially relocating Palestinians was also addressed during the meeting, with Trump mentioning cooperation from neighboring countries.

Netanyahu highlighted efforts to secure a better future for Palestinians, allowing them the choice to stay or leave. However, the Palestinian leadership has previously opposed relocation plans, citing concerns about international law violations.

Nobel peace prize nomination and peace efforts

Netanyahu nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, acknowledging the President’s efforts in advancing peace regionally.

Trump, known for his firm stance on conflict resolution, expressed confidence in reaching a deal swiftly. The closed-door meeting between the leaders focused on ending the war and facilitating the release of hostages.

Key obstacles in the negotiations include aid-related issues, with Hamas pushing to halt the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s operations.

The Israeli delegation, on the other hand, has refrained from discussing this topic. The ceasefire proposal involves complex stages of prisoner releases and territorial adjustments.

As discussions continue, US officials are actively engaged in the process to achieve a lasting ceasefire. Amidst protests and legal challenges, the leaders remain committed to finding a peaceful resolution.

The recent conflict has created a window of opportunity for progress, with hopes high for a positive outcome in the coming days.
