Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is hopeful but unrealistic: Former US envoy

US President Donald Trump says “there have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World” over the weekend as part of his efforts to release captives and end the Gaza war.

“These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“The technical teams will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST.”

In all caps, he added: “Time is of the essence or, massive bloodshed will follow – something that nobody wants to see!”

Thomas Pickering is a former US Ambassador to the UN, Jordan and Israel. He says the US is pushing for Israel and Hamas to finally come to a deal.
