(MENAFN- The Peninsula) AFP

Washington: US President Donald Trump said he believed the ceasefire that began in Gaza on Friday would hold as Israel and Hamas are "tired" of fighting.

"It'll hold. I think it'll hold. They're all tired of the fighting," Trump told reporters, confirming his plans to travel to Middle East this weekend.

Trump said he would meet a "lot of leaders" in Egypt on Monday to discuss the future of devastated Gaza, adding that the meeting would likely be in Cairo.

"Now we have some little hot spots, but they're very small... They'll be very easy to put out. Those fires are going to be put out very quickly," he added.
