Trump suggests deal is close on Gaza, despite one not materialising previously

Washington,

Sep 26 (AP) President Donald Trump on Friday said he believes the US is close to achieving a deal on easing fighting in Gaza that “will get the hostages back” and “end the war.” “I think we have maybe a deal on Gaza, very close to a deal on Gaza,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn as he was leaving to attend the Ryder Cup.

Trump has repeatedly suggested that an agreement to calm Israel’s war with Hamas is imminent — only to have nothing to show for it.

Weeks ago, he said, “I think we’re going to have a deal on Gaza very soon.” And Trump has made similar pronouncements before and after that. (AP) GRS GRS
