‘I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,’ Trump concluded.
‘Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
His announcement came ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to the White House for talks on Monday.
Hours earlier, Trump reiterated that he is looking for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal to come through next week. The US president told reporters that Netanyahu ‘wants to’ get a deal done.
‘I think we’ll have a deal next week,’ Trump said.
