Tel Aviv — After five days of negotiations in Qatar and two meetings in Washington between Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump, there was still no ceasefire agreement for Gaza on Thursday, as Netanyahu prepared to leave Washington to fly back home. At the start of the week, the Trump administration sounded optimistic that a deal could be done as soon as the weekend. On Wednesday evening, however, a senior Israeli official said it could still take 20 more days to reach an agreement.
Main Idea: A Gaza clinic strike killed 15 civilians, as ceasefire talks involving Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump remained unresolved and the war with Hamas continued.
Key Points:
The Gaza violence and failed ceasefire talks could keep US prices for fuel and some goods volatile and add pressure on US taxpayers and voters if the conflict widens.
If Netanyahu and Trump help secure a deal, US families could see lower war risk and less strain on aid, markets, and military costs.
