Trump lowers expectations regarding Gaza, and Weitkov discusses an important meeting on Wednesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has retracted his previous statements that hinted at imminent decisive results regarding the Gaza Strip, confirming during a government meeting at the White House that the situation in Gaza has been ongoing for a long time without any decisive outcome. Trump clarified that no final developments can be expected in the coming weeks.

In a related context, his special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, spoke about an expanded meeting to be held at the White House on Wednesday, which Trump will attend. Witkoff noted that a comprehensive plan is being prepared regarding the day after the war in Gaza ends.

Witkoff also emphasized the importance of the lengthy meetings this week addressing the conflicts in Gaza and Iran, as well as the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, expressing hope for resolving these issues before the end of the year.

On another note, Congressman Gregory Meeks, the senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, warned that the continuation of the war in Gaza could lead to a global ostracism of Israel. He stressed the necessity of halting the sale of offensive systems to Israel if it does not respond to a ceasefire.

Since October 2023, the occupying state has been waging a genocidal war against the besieged population of the Gaza Strip, with homes and health facilities being bombed, leading to the systematic destruction of the health system in the region.

The latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in Gaza indicate that the war has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 62,000 Palestinians and the injury of 158,000 others, in addition to the martyrdom of 300 Palestinians due to starvation, including 117 children.
