Trump Sees "Good Chance" for Hamas Agreement This Week

USA's president Donald Trump says there is a "good chance" of an agreement with Hamas "during the week", ahead of Monday's meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington.

I think there is a good chance that we will get an agreement with Hamas during the week, the coming week, says Trump to reporters.

We have got out many of the hostages, but as for the remaining hostages, a lot of them will get to leave, adds the president.

Hamas announced on Friday that they had given a "positive" response to the mediators about the latest proposal for a ceasefire, but added that they want to negotiate the details. Indirect negotiations were held between Israel and Hamas in Qatar on Sunday.

Before Netanyahu boarded his plane to Washington on Sunday, he said that the meeting with Trump could "contribute to promoting" a ceasefire in Gaza.

Trump also says that the US and Israel are "working on many things", including a possible permanent agreement with Iran.
