US President Donald Trump has said he would like the conflict in Gaza to stop, as he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Reuters reports.
Trump said work was ongoing to free hostages held by Hamas, but said securing the release of all the hostages was “a long process.”
Asked if he would deliver on his promise during his campaign for president to end the conflict in Gaza, Trump said: “I’d like to see the war stop, and I think the war will stop at some point, that won’t be in the too-distant future.”
