During a White House event, U.S. President Donald Trump stirred up conversation by saying Iran is involved in a high-stakes negotiation in Gaza. Trump stated, "Gaza right now is in the midst of a massive negotiation between us and Hamas and Israel, and Iran actually is involved, and we'll see what's going to happen with Gaza. We want to get the hostages back," leaving many curious about what role Iran might play.
The discussions are part of a broader proposal for a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Under this plan, 28 hostages – both living captives and remains – would be released in exchange for 1,236 Palestinian prisoners and the remains of 180 deceased Palestinians. While Israel has expressed readiness to follow the ceasefire terms, Hamas has so far rejected the plan.
Additional details on Iran's involvement remain scarce. The White House did not offer further comment, and Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York also stayed mum on the issue. In a separate diplomatic arena, the United States and Iran are negotiating talks concerning Tehran's nuclear program.
This unfolding story is capturing global attention as negotiations and diplomatic efforts swirl in a complex regional landscape. Stay tuned for updates as this dramatic saga continues to evolve! 🤔💬
