President Donald Trump voiced optimism on Sunday that a breakthrough toward Middle East peace could be near, just hours before his scheduled meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. The two leaders are set to sit down at 11:00 a.m. ET on Monday, followed by a joint press conference in the afternoon.

In remarks to NBC News, Trump suggested progress had been made in negotiations aimed at ending the war in Gaza and securing the release of hostages held by Hamas. “We’re doing very well. It looks like there is a really good chance for peace in the Middle East,” he said. “Everybody is on board. Everybody.”
