US President Donald Trump says a Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel could occur this week as truce talks resume in Qatar.

Indirect Gaza ceasefire talks resumed Tuesday in Qatar, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington to meet US President Donald Trump, who expressed optimism about a possible breakthrough.Qatar, a mediator along with the United States and Egypt, said the meetings were focused on a "framework" for the talks.

Trump has largely focused on expanding the Abraham Accords, an agreement in his first term that led to normalization of relations between Israel and some Arab nations. He's also proposed a relocation plan for Gaza's two million Palestinians, which Netanyahu endorsed at the time.
