US President Donald Trump said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been “pushing very hard” to get this deal done, aimed at achieving lasting peace in the region. “He’s a very powerful guy, and Hamas has a lot of respect for him,” Trump said during a White House signing ceremony. The US president expressed optimism about the ongoing talks, noting that Hamas had agreed on key issues and that Israel showed a positive stance. “I think we’re making great progress,” Trump said, adding that the plan could bring “real peace in the Middle East.” He also mentioned that several Arab nations, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, support the effort. Addressing Israel’s raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla, Trump criticized activist Greta Thunberg, calling her a “troublemaker with anger management problems.”
