US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that there is “a real chance of grandeur in the Middle East,” without providing specific details, days after saying he was close to closing an agreement to end the war in Gaza.
“We have a real chance of achieving greatness in the Middle East. Everyone is on board for something special, unheard of in history.
which requires the release of all hostages maintained by Hamas within 48 hours after an agreement and establishes a script for Gaza after the end of the war, according to a source familiar with the proposal.

Understand the war in the Gaza Strip
The war in the Gaza track began on October 7, 2023, after Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel. Combatants of the Palestinian radical group killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 hostages that day.
Then Israeli troops began a great offensive with bombing and land to try to recover hostages and end Hamas’s command.
The fighting resulted in the devastation of Palestinian territory and the displacement of about 1.9 million people, the equivalent of over 80% of the total population of the Gaza Strip, according to Unrwa (United Nations Palestinian refugees agency).
Since the beginning of the war, at least 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Ministry of Health of Gaza.
The ministry, controlled by Hamas, does not distinguish between civilian civilians and combatants in the count, but states that more than half of the dead are women and children. Israel says that at least 20,000 are combatants of the radical group.
Part of the hostages was recovered through two ceasefire agreements, while a minority was recovered through military actions.
Authorities believe that about 50 hostages are still in Gaza, and about 20 of them would be alive.
While war advances, the humanitarian situation gets worse every day in the Palestinian territory. With the widespread hunger for the lack of assistance in the Gaza Strip, reports of people dying for innion are daily.
Israel states that war may stop as well as Hamas surrenders, and the radical group demands improvement in the situation in Gaza so that the dialogue is resumed.
