This news report details Donald Trump's comments on ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The existing three-phase ceasefire, initiated on January 19, is nearing the end of its initial six-week phase. Israel is sending negotiators to Cairo to discuss extending the first phase, though Trump offered limited specifics, expressing cautious optimism. The ceasefire has involved the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees, but both sides have accused each other of violations. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, present at the press conference, reaffirmed support for a two-state solution. The backdrop includes the significant casualties and displacement in Gaza since October 2023, following the initial Hamas attack on Israel.
