Trump To Float New Gaza Truce Terms


(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Trump administration plans to finalise soon a new written agreement that may form the basis for a potential Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
"We are on the precipice of sending out a new term sheet," said US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
"The president is going to review it. And I have some very good feelings about getting to a long-term resolution, temporary ceasefire and a long-term resolution, a peaceful resolution, of that conflict."
Witkoff made the comments at the White House alongside Trump, who said that his administration is working on accelerating food deliveries to Palestinians living in Gaza.
"We're dealing with the whole situation in Gaza. We're getting food to the people of Gaza. It's been a very nasty situation," Trump told reporters.
Thousands of Palestinians looted a UN warehouse in central Gaza Wednesday, AFP reported.
The United Nations World Food Programme said "hordes of hungry people" broke into one of the agency's warehouses in central Gaza and initial reports indicated that two people had died and several more were injured.
"Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance. This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve," WFP said in a statement.
