US President Donald Trump on Saturday called for an “enduring peace” in Gaza, while informing that efforts to stabilise the war-torn enclave were advancing.
Trump’s remarks came on a day when the Israeli defence forces said that they had conducted a “targeted” airstrike in Gaza against an operative of the Islamic Jihad planning an attack against Israel.
The US President said that an international force would be deployed soon, following a meeting with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani during a refuelling stop in Doha en route to his visit to East Asia.
“This should be an enduring peace,” Trump told reporters when asked about the situation in Gaza.
He said Qatar would be willing to contribute peace-keeping troops if needed, and he praised the Gulf nation as a great ally and key player in regional stability.
