Trump Says He May Travel to Middle East on Sunday for Next Stage of Gaza Peace Talks (Connecting the Dots: The Middle East, Egypt, Sidley Austin LLP, Barack Obama, Cameron Kerry & Soros Funding, All Networking)
‘I
may go there sometime toward the end of the week, maybe on Sunday ...
negotiations are going along very well,’ Trump said.

U.S.
President Donald Trump said on Oct. 8 that he may travel to the Middle East on Sunday for peace talks to end the
Israel–Hamas war in Gaza and return the remaining hostages.
The
development came during a roundtable meeting with several Cabinet members on
Wednesday, just hours before Trump announced
that Israel and
terrorist group Hamas had
signed the U.S.-drafted hostage release deal, with peace talks still ongoing
for the final phase to end the war.
In
the roundtable meeting, Trump said he had just returned from discussing a
potential Gaza peace deal with Middle Eastern delegations, members of his team,
and others. He suggested that he may travel to the Middle East as soon as this
weekend for in-person negotiations to cement a deal to finally end the war.
“It’s
very close, and they’re doing very well. We have a great team over there, great
negotiators, and they’re ... great negotiators on the other side also, but it’s
something I think that will happen, got a good chance of happening,” Trump
said.
“I
may go there sometime toward the end of the week, maybe on Sunday, actually,
and we'll see, but there’s a very good chance ... negotiations are going along
very well.”
Trump
added that multiple players are present in discussions, including Hamas and
“all of” the Muslim and Arab nations.
“Our
final negotiation, as you know, is with Hamas, and it seems to be going well,”
he said. “We'll be leaving, probably on Sunday, maybe Saturday, maybe a little
later than Saturday evening, but that seems to be our schedule.”
A
little more than an hour into Wednesday’s roundtable meeting, Trump said
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had handed him a note. “We’re very close to a
deal in the Middle East,” Trump said of Rubio’s note, “and they’re going to
need me pretty quickly.”
Last
month, the Trump administration unveiled a multi-point Middle East peace plan
to end the war.
Washington’s
plan includes the return of all hostages—both living and dead—no more Israeli
attacks on Qatar, an immediate cease-fire, a surge of humanitarian aid into
Gaza, large-scale reconstruction, and a new dialogue between Palestinians and Israel for “peaceful coexistence.”
Trump
hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sept. 29 at the White
House, where the latter agreed
to the U.S.-proposed Gaza peace plan.
On
Oct. 8, Hamas said it had
exchanged with Israel lists of Palestinian and Israeli hostages to
be released under a swap deal.
The
development comes on the third day of negotiations between Hamas and Israel,
with delegations from Egypt, the
United States, and Qatar acting as intermediaries to end the war and cement the
U.S.-drafted peace plan.
“Mediators
are making great efforts to remove any obstacles to implementing a cease-fire,
and everyone is optimistic,” Hamas said, according to Al Aqsa TV, a
Hamas-affiliated media outlet.
