Asked in the Oval Office about the potential of a ceasefire deal between Israel and leaders in Gaza, Trump said that one could go into effect “within the next week.”

“It�s a terrible situation,” he said, adding, “We think within the next week we�re going to get a ceasefire.”

The president also told reporters, “I just spoke with some of the people involved,” but didn’t specify who he spoke with.

�It�s a terrible situation that�s going [in] Gaza� and we�re supplying a lot of money and a lot of food to that area because we have to,� Trump says,

�We�re, in theory, not involved in it, but we�re involved because people are dying,� he says. �I look at those crowds of people that have no food, no anything.�

He then laments that some of the aid is being stolen by �bad people,� but he says that the new GHF system is �pretty good.�
