Netanyahu contradicts Trump's Gaza ceasefire optimism as negotiations continue

  • 29/09/2025

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has contradicted US President Donald Trump's suggestion of an imminent Gaza ceasefire, clarifying that negotiations remain ongoing without final agreement. Netanyahu emphasized that any ceasefire must include hostage release from Hamas, an end to Hamas rule, Gaza's disarmament, and the creation of new living conditions for both Gazans and Israelis.

Trump had hinted at a significant Middle East development through his Truth Social platform, stating "everyone is coming together for something special" and suggesting "we have an opportunity to make the Middle East great." The comments came ahead of his scheduled White House meeting with Netanyahu, though the US president provided no specific details about the anticipated announcement.

Observers have speculated the announcement may concern Gaza ceasefire negotiations, though Netanyahu's statement indicates substantial differences remain between the parties. The Israeli leader confirmed negotiations are proceeding with Trump's involvement while maintaining his government's fundamental conditions for any ceasefire agreement.
