"We have to stop the war in Gaza immediately, Trump told world leaders in New York on Tuesday, adding that he has been deeply engaged in trying to secure a ceasefire. He reiterated his call for the captives held in Gaza to be returned home. We have to get it done. We have to negotiate peace. We have to get the hostages back. We want all 20 back, he said, referring to the 20 of the 48 remaining captives still believed to be alive."
"As if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognise the Palestinian state. The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists, for their atrocities, he said. In contrast, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said at a meeting on Sunday at the UN aimed at reviving the two-state solution that statehood for Palestinians is a right, not a reward."
US President Donald Trump addressed the UN General Assembly, calling for an immediate stop to Israel's war on Gaza and saying he has worked to secure a ceasefire. He described recent Western recognition of Palestinian statehood as a reward for Hamas and warned it would encourage continued conflict. He pressed for the return of captives held in Gaza and urged negotiators to secure release of all hostages, noting 20 of the 48 remaining captives are believed alive. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Palestinian statehood is a right, not a reward. Trump blamed Hamas for rejecting offers and for negotiation breakdowns, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of stalling talks and Israel targeted Hamas leaders in Doha during truce discussions.
