President Donald Trump said progress may be underway toward resolving the crisis in Gaza following high-level talks with Middle Eastern leaders during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

“I had a great meeting with [Middle East] leaders... at UNGA — and I think we're close to getting some kind of a deal done,” Trump told reporters.

The president emphasized that the primary focus remains on the release of hostages, stressing his commitment to securing their freedom. “We want to get the hostages back. I have to get the hostages back,” he said.

While Trump did not provide specific details about the negotiations, his remarks suggest that diplomatic efforts are advancing behind the scenes. Analysts note that the UNGA often provides a platform for discreet discussions between leaders on sensitive issues.

Observers are watching closely to see if these talks produce tangible outcomes, particularly in addressing both humanitarian concerns and broader regional stability.
