Trump says Gaza ceasefire ‘possible’, Sisi asks him to help end war

TURNBERRY: US President Donald Trump said on Monday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was “possible” and he told Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu the fight in Gaza would have to be different after talks on a ceasefire and hostage release fell apart last week.

Trump, speaking to reporters at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland as he welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, also said people in Gaza needed to get food and safety right now. He said he would discuss the situation with Starmer.

He made the comments to reporters at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland where he was meeting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

On the other hand, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday made an impassioned call for Trump to intervene to put an end to the fighting in Gaza, saying “the time has come to end the war”.

In a video address on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Sisi said Trump “is the one capable of stopping the war, bringing in aid and ending this suffering.”

“Therefore, I am making a special appeal to His Excellency President Trump: please make every effort to stop the war and bring in aid,” he added.

Sisi said Egypt was working to ensure the entry of the largest possible volume of aid into Gaza over the past months, but coordination between Israel and Egypt was needed to do so.

“We cannot deny aid to the enclave, but for aid to get in, coordination with the other side is needed,” he added.
