U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on Wednesday for a pivotal discussion on a Gaza ceasefire deal. Reported by Axios on X, this meeting comes as part of ongoing efforts to spark a fresh start in the region.
Since July 6, negotiators from both Israeli and Hamas sides have been deep in talks in Doha. The U.S.-backed proposal suggests a 60-day ceasefire featuring a phased release of hostages, gradual Israeli troop withdrawals from parts of Gaza, and further discussions aimed at easing the conflict.
Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, recently described the situation as hopeful, highlighting Qatar's key role in mediating between the parties. Despite the joint efforts of U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian mediators, disagreements still linger over the extent of any Israeli withdrawal from the enclave.
This meeting could be a turning point in a complex and evolving situation. Stay tuned as we follow this unfolding story with optimism and a hopeful spirit for peace in the region. 🤞🕊️
