Trump Praises Envoys, Claims Hamas Ready to Disarm
U.S. President Donald Trump lauded the efforts of his special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, regarding the Gaza situation. Trump's remarks came amid reports that CIA Director John Ratcliffe might replace them. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump credited Witkoff and Kushner with achieving a ceasefire in Gaza and securing the release of Israeli hostages, stating that the mediators had made significant progress in resolving the conflict.
"Look at Gaza, for example. Look at the fact that we got all the hostages back," Trump said, also noting a decrease in hostilities. "There isn't much fighting in Gaza now. Hamas is now ready to give up its weapons," the U.S. president declared.
Despite these claims, Israel continued to strike Hamas targets and operatives in Gaza, asserting that the attacks were aimed at militants posing a threat to soldiers. The Palestinian side reported civilian casualties, including women and children, resulting from these strikes.
