U.S. President Donald Trump said it was "a good thing" that Hamas had responded "positively" to a proposed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump stated, "There could be a deal on Gaza within days."
However, U.S. President noted, "I haven't been briefed on the details" of Hamas's response.
Trump added, "We have to do something about Gaza. We send a lot of money and a lot of aid."
Hamas announced yesterday in a statement that it had completed internal consultations regarding the latest ceasefire proposal put forward by mediators.
The movement confirmed that it had submitted its response to the mediators and described the reply as positive.
