- 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.
