US EditionNetanyahu and Trump prioritize hostages as Gaza military campaign grinds on
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 09 – Netanyahu and Trump intensified efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire and release hostages, with US-backed talks aiming for a 60-day pause including phased hostage releases, officials said.
- On Tuesday evening, Benjamin Netanyahu met Donald Trump at the White House for a second time in as many days, stressing `That means no Hamas`.
- Since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and capturing 251 hostages, talks have restarted in Doha.
- Hamas-Run Gaza health ministry reported 57,575 deaths in Gaza, and the Israeli military says 49 hostages remain including 27 dead, with Steve Witkoff insisting there’s no second phase.
- Afterward, Trump told reporters, `I think things are going along very well` regarding the Gaza talks, and Netanyahu said he felt `deep appreciation and admiration` for Trump, responding positively.
- No definitive timeline was set for the ceasefire and relocation plan, as Majed Al-Ansari said `we will need time for this`, highlighting ongoing delays.
