US President Donald Trump is convinced that Hamas wants to negotiate a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages. He said this on October 6, answering journalists' questions at the White House.
I can't name a single country that would be negative about this. That's why it has to happen. I mean, everyone wants it to happen. And when everyone, I think, including Hamas, wants it to happen, then it will happen.
Donald Trump added that Hamas had agreed to "very important things," and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "was very positive about the deal."
