Trump says he thinks Hamas and Israel want a ceasefire deal in Gaza

• The president wanted to reach an agreement with Netanyahu in their meeting on terms for ending the war in Gaza.

Driving the news: Negotiators from Israel and Hamas, together with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, have been meeting in Doha since Sunday to try and reach an agreement for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 living and 18 deceased hostages.

• White House envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to travel to Doha as early as Tuesday to join the talks and try to seal the deal, the White House said.
• "We have an opportunity to finally get a peace deal - I am hopeful for it very quickly", Witkoff said at the top of Trump's meeting with Netanyahu.
• Ahead of the dinner with Trump at the White House the Israeli Prime Minister met separately with Witkoff and with Secretary of state Marco Rubio.

What to watch: Trump said at the top of his meeting with Netanyahu that the U.S. will hold a meeting with Iran soon to try and get a nuclear deal.

• Witkoff said the meeting will take place "in the next week or so."
• Axios reported last week that Witkoff has been discussing with Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi about holding a meeting in Oslo.
• If it happens, it would be the first meeting between the parties since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran ended.
• "I hope the war with Iran is over. I think they want to meet and make peace," Trump said when asked if he sees the war resuming.
