US President Donald Trump has said he will discuss the situations in Gaza and Iran when he meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House next week, adding that he hopes to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza soon, Reuters reports.

Trump plans to meet Netanyahu on Monday and told reporters during a visit to Florida that he would be “very firm” with him on the need for a speedy Gaza ceasefire while noting that Netanyahu wants one as well.

Trump said he is hopeful that a ceasefire-for-hostages agreement can be achieved next week between Israel and Hamas.

“We hope it’s going to happen. And we’re looking forward to it happening sometime next week,” he told reporters as he departed the White House for a day trip to Florida. “We want to get the hostages out.”
