USA's president "believes" that an agreement has been reached on a release of those who have been taken as hostages and on an ending of the war in Gaza.

It seems like we have a deal about Gaza. I think it's a deal that means the hostages will return and the war will end, says Donald Trump to reporters outside the White House on Friday, without going into details.

The comment comes after the president recently spoke with representatives of both Israel and several Arab countries, where he presented a 21-point plan for peace in the Middle East and Gaza.

Exactly what the plan means has not been announced, but according to information from sources to the American media company Axios, it's about, among other things, the release of all hostages, a permanent ceasefire, a rule of Gaza without Hamas, and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the strip.

Whether it actually becomes an agreement this time remains to be seen. Since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18 this year, it has been said several times that a new agreement was imminent, something that has not been realized.
