JAKARTA - President Donald Trump said the United States had a "consensus" with Israel to begin implementing a peace deal in Gaza. This agreement requires Israeli forces to withdraw and Hamas to surrender their weapons.
However, Trump did not detail the complicated sequence of reciprocal steps, only stressing that the deal was a breakthrough for the besieged territory.
"Israel is very happy with that," Trump said, adding that the country was "very good" in accepting the deal.
Previously, an Israeli official rejected key elements of the reported framework, stressing Hamas' "total disarmament" remains a prerequisite for any process.
There will be no withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza's "yellow line," the official said, until the demilitarization is completed.
However, Trump gave a more optimistic assessment of the deal, while acknowledging that the deal would likely face various tests in the future.
"Most people say it's an impossible deal to reach," he said.
"Well, will there be ups and downs? The situation there is very complicated. The people are also very complex and difficult. In many ways they are amazing, but in many other ways they are not so," Trump said, as reported by CNN, Saturday, August 1.
He attributed this achievement to Iran, a country where he has not succeeded in realizing a lasting diplomatic settlement of the existing conflict.
"It shows how much success we have achieved regarding Iran, because if we look back four or five months ago, such an agreement was impossible," he said.
"So, this is a big step for the Middle East; people are very impressed and surprised by it," Trump continued.
