On Monday, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss a ceasefire agreement and an end to the war in Gaza.
On Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social about the upcoming talks: “We have a real chance for greatness in the Middle East. All are on board for something special, first time ever. We will get it done.”
Vice President JD Vance told “Fox News Sunday” that top U.S. officials are immersed in “very complicated” negotiations with both Israeli and Arab counterparts.
“I feel more optimistic about where we are right now than where we have been at any point in the last few months, but let’s be realistic, these things can get derailed at the very last minute,” Vance said.
He added that the Trump administration’s proposal centers on three main points: securing the release of all hostages, eliminating the Hamas threat to Israel, and expanding humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“So I think we’re close to accomplishing all three of those objectives,” Vance said.
In an exclusive interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Sunday Briefing,” Netanyahu said his team is working with U.S. officials to secure the release of hostages, a top priority for the Israeli leader.
“I hope we can make it a go because we want to free our hostages. We want to get rid of Hamas rule and have them disarmed, Gaza demilitarized, and a new future set up for Gazans and Israelis alike and for the whole region,” he told co-host Jacqui Heinrich.
This marks the fourth meeting between Trump and Netanyahu since January, and comes on the heels of the United Nations General Assembly.
