‘‘Israel and Hamas’’ are “very close” to reaching a framework agreement to end the war in Gaza and secure lasting peace in the Middle East, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday.
Speaking on Fox News, Leavitt noted that President Donald Trump would present a 21-point peace plan to Netanyahu at the White House later the same day. She added that Trump would also hold talks with leaders in Qatar, who have acted as intermediaries with Hamas. “To reach a reasonable deal for both sides, both sides have to give up a little bit and might leave the table a little bit unhappy, but that is ultimately how we are going to end this conflict,” she said.
