The White House has announced that U.S. President Donald Trump is working diligently to end the “brutal war” in Gaza and to secure the release of all hostages held amid the conflict.
The statement comes as fighting between Israel and Hamas continues to claim lives and devastate the Gaza Strip.
The ongoing violence has led to widespread destruction, thousands of casualties, and a deepening humanitarian crisis. Regional and international actors, including the United States, have been pushing for a ceasefire and negotiations to resolve the conflict and address the fate of individuals believed to be held captive by militant groups in Gaza.
Trump has previously stated that achieving peace in the Middle East remains one of his key foreign policy priorities. However, efforts to broker an end to the hostilities have faced significant obstacles, including entrenched political divisions and demands from both sides.
