US, Israel 'Very Close' to Gaza Ceasefire Deal: Axios

The publication Axios, citing senior White House officials, writes that the United States and Israel are "very close" to an agreement on the plan proposed by President Donald Trump's administration to end the war in the Gaza Strip.

Such assessments were made after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting in New York with Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the president's special envoy, Witkoff. It is reported that the authors of this plan to end the war are Kushner and Witkoff themselves. It consists of 21 points.

At the same time, American officials emphasize that any final deal requires the agreement of Hamas, which, however, has not yet been officially obtained.

It is expected that a meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu will take place at the White House on September 29. This very plan will be at the center of the discussions, and it is likely that it will receive the approval of the parties. This meeting could be decisive in finalizing the agreement before it is presented to Hamas.
