U.S. President Donald Trump does not rule out that the situation in the Gaza Strip could be resolved within the next week, as he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington in response to a question about Gaza ceasefire talks.
"Gaza - we are talking, and hopefully we're going to get that straightened out over the next week. Let's see what happens," Donald Trump said.
On July 6, Hamas and Israel resumed the Doha talks mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, which are aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement for Gaza and releasing the Israeli hostages held in the enclave.
On July 8, advisor to the Qatari prime minister Majed bin Mohammed al-Ansari announced the Qatari and Egyptian mediators were in consultations with Hamas and Israeli representatives on a framework for future talks.
