US EditionTrump to chair Gaza meeting in Washington, top US and Israeli diplomats to also meet
President Donald Trump will lead a key White House meeting to discuss a comprehensive post-war Gaza plan amid ongoing conflict causing over 62,000 Palestinian fatalities, officials said.
- The White House plans a meeting tomorrow to discuss Gaza's post-war future, with President Donald Trump chairing and Steve Witkoff saying Washington expects war resolution by year-end.
- The conflict began after Hamas-led militants' Oct. 7, 2023 attack killed 1,200 and abducted 251 people; Gaza has suffered over 62,000 Palestinian deaths amid talks on its two million residents' future.
- Witkoff told Fox News that "Yes, we've got a large meeting in the White House tomorrow, chaired by the president, and it's a very comprehensive plan we're putting together on the next day," adding the U.S. position is hostages should no longer be part of negotiations.
- The meeting arrives as mounting outrage follows this week's double Israeli strike on a southern Gaza hospital that killed journalists and emergency responders, while Israel's military told Gaza City residents to prepare to leave ahead of evacuation.
- Political resistance has emerged as the deal includes a 60-day truce and release of some of the 50 remaining hostages, but many in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition oppose it; Qatar said last week the proposal was nearly identical to Steve Witkoff's earlier draft Israel accepted.
