Trump meets Netanyahu for the second time in the middle of the cautious hope of a high Gaza fire

Tel Aviv – President Trump met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu For the second time in two days on Tuesday at the White House. They discussed the efforts to reach a high -fire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and emphasized Netanyahu, to ensure the release of the 50 Israeli hostages that are still believed that they were considered in the decimated Palestinian territory, 20 of which the Israeli leader said recently they were still alive.

Netanyahu, in a shared video message on social networks after his second meeting with Trump, said that Israel would not give in his mission of “achieving all our goals”, which he said includes “the elimination of military and government capacities of Hamas, ensuring that Gaza will not represent a threat to Israel.”

The delegations of Israel and Hamas, which for a long time has been designated as a terrorist group by Israel and the United States, are in Qatar negotiating on the precise terms of a possible agreement. But while the conversations continue, so does war.

Nasser hospital officials, in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, said on Wednesday that 40 people died in fresh Israeli air attacks, including 17 women and 10 children. The Israeli army, who has long accused Hamas to hide weapons and militants in civil infrastructure, said he reached more than 100 terrorist goals in Gaza during the last day.

President Trump described the war in Gaza this week as a tragedy that “he wants to resolve.” For the hungry and displaced population of Gaza of more than 2 million people, a high fire cannot arrive soon.

The proposal currently on the table must, if the details can be marked, allow an immediate increase in food, medicines and other emergency supplies to Gaza to relieve acute misery and despair caused by 21 months of war.

It would also end the relentless military attacks, which Israel’s defense forces insist only on Hamas, but have also killed thousands of civilians, many of them women and children. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, directed by Hamas, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their figures, almost 60,000 people have been killed in the narrow coastal enclave during the war.

Many Israelis also yearn for fire. On Tuesday, funerals were held for five young soldiers killed in an explosion in Gaza.

The continuous struggle, and the continuous captivity of 50 Israelis, is prolonging a national trauma that began with the terrorist attack orchestrated in Hamas on October 7, 2023, which saw some 1,200 people killed and another 251 taken as hostages.

One of the Israelis who still believes that he remains alive in Gaza is to avoid David, who was last seen in February when Hamas did it and his captive partner Dallal Watch while other hostages were released during a temporary truce.

David’s brother, Ilay, told News themezone that the family says it will be the next one, but they are too afraid to wait.

Ilay said the family constantly prepares for disappointment.

“We learned to protect our souls,” he said. “And it is not only us, it is our nation, the one that is shattered.”

The proposed solution currently on the table, according to an official familiar with the negotiations, would bring a high fire of 60 days, during which Hamas would deliver some of the remaining Israeli hostages, and Israel’s army would stop his offensive forces and withdraw from some areas of Gaza.

In a sign that negotiators can be close to an agreement, Trump Steve Witkoff’s special envoy is expected to return to Qatar this week.
