Trump says Iran wants to meet and Hamas wants a ceasefire

After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump voiced his confidence Monday that Hamas was willing to agree a truce with Israel. 

At the White House press, Trump said that "They want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire" when asked if clashes involving Israeli soldiers would derail talks. Relating the possible resumption of nuclear talks with Iran, Trump's Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff added that the talks would take place "in the next week or so."
