US President Donald Trump has predicted that the Gaza war will reach a 'conclusive ending' within two to three weeks, citing an ongoing diplomatic push to resolve the nearly two-year conflict. However, his timeline is met with skepticism, as Israel continues its military offensive in Gaza City and has not accepted the latest ceasefire proposal agreed to by Hamas. Pressure is mounting within Israel for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to consider a temporary truce, especially as hostage families plan protests and some officials urge acceptance of the deal. The United States has yet to take a clear position on the ceasefire proposal, while Trump and other officials emphasize that any resolution must see Hamas removed from power in Gaza. Amid ongoing humanitarian concerns, Trump reiterated US aid contributions, though figures remain disputed, and violence continues around aid distribution sites.
