Trump claims Israel–Hamas ceasefire deal ‘very close,’ says, ‘talks could happen this week’

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Trump and Netanyahu say a 60-day ceasefire deal with Hamas is near, aiming to return hostages and address Gaza's humanitarian crisis amid ongoing conflict since October 2023.

  • On July 9, 2025, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at the White House to discuss a potential ceasefire in Gaza.
  • The talks follow an October 2023 Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people and resulted in around 250 hostages being taken by Hamas.
  • Netanyahu has accepted a US-proposed 60-day ceasefire deal involving an Israeli Defense Forces presence in Gaza, but Hamas has not yet agreed to disarm, complicating negotiations.
  • Trump indicated that negotiations are approaching a resolution, while State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce expressed optimism about reaching an agreement this week to establish a 60-day ceasefire.
  • Though the ceasefire could enable hostage release, senior Israeli officials caution lasting peace depends on Hamas's full disarmament and removal from Gaza.
