US President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested a “major development” could be imminent in the Middle East, declaring there is “something special” in the works. “We have a real chance for GREATNESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ALL ARE ON BOARD FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL, FIRST TIME EVER. WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.While he gave no details, the announcement could relate to the Israel–Hamas conflict, which his administration has been attempting to resolve since he began his second term in January.Trump’s post comes on the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House.Earlier Friday, the US president had told reporters in Washington “I think we have a deal on Gaza.”On the same day, addressing the United Nations, Netanyahu vowed to block a Palestinian state while also committing to “finish the job” against Hamas, days after Britain, France and other Western powers recognised a state of Palestine.He is scheduled to visit the White House on Monday.Hamas carried out the worst-ever attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally from Israeli official figures, in the deadliest day in the country’s history. The Palestinian militants also took 251 hostages, of which 47 remain in Gaza, including 25 the Israeli military says are dead.Israel’s offensive has killed more than 65,549 Palestinians, also mostly civilians, according to health ministry figures in the Hamas-run territory. The United Nations considers the figures reliable.
