US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a potential ceasefire in Gaza, stating it could occur within a week, following discussions with unnamed parties involved. However, Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh warned that there are currently no active negotiations, and skepticism remains regarding the feasibility of such a truce given Israel's unwillingness to discuss ending the conflict. Observations indicate that any ceasefire could be contingent on political negotiations involving normalization deals with Arab states, as well as Hamas's demands for withdrawal and guarantees from the US regarding adherence to the ceasefire.
In a surprising statement, President Trump suggested a ceasefire in Gaza could be achieved within a week, although negotiations are currently absent in the region.
Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh emphasized that while Trump's comments may provide hope to Gaza's affected population, the absence of ongoing negotiations raises skepticism about any imminent truce.
Odeh indicated that Netanyahu's willingness to consider a ceasefire may depend on possible political gains related to normalization with Arab states promoted by the Trump administration.
The situation is dire in Gaza, with increased casualties and global criticism directed at Israeli forces for their actions amid calls for a cessation of hostilities.
