 US President hints at 'something special' in Middle East talks

US President Donald Trump has hinted at a major breakthrough in the Middle East crisis, saying that “something special is happening and everyone is on board for it.”

According to the AFP news agency, the US president made this statement at the White House ahead of a meeting with the Israeli prime minister on Monday.

President Trump wrote in a post on his Twitter social platform that “we have a real opportunity for greatness in the Middle East. We have brought everyone together for something special, this is the first time. We will make it happen.”

“I think we have a deal on Gaza,” President Trump told reporters in Washington on Friday before the attack.

Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly on the same day, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to block a Palestinian state and complete the task of eliminating Hamas.

The Israeli prime minister made the speech a few days after Britain, France and other Western countries announced their recognition of a Palestinian state.

Netanyahu is scheduled to meet President Trump at the White House on Monday.

Hamas carried out its worst attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which 1,219 people were killed. According to Israeli official figures, most of those killed were civilians.

Israel calls it one of the most dangerous days in its country’s history.

During the attack, Palestinian militants also took 251 people hostage, 47 of whom are still in Gaza. According to the Israeli military, 25 hostages have been killed.

According to figures from the Ministry of Health in the Hamas-run territory, more than 65,549 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza as a result of the Israeli aggression, most of them civilians.

The United Nations considers these figures reliable.
