Trump was set to convene a meeting at the White House to discuss a \u201ccomprehensive plan\u201d for the future of Gaza, his envoy said, as Israel prepared its forces for an invasion of Gaza City.<\/p>\n<p>The US president\u2019s special envoy Steve Witkoff said Trump would chair a \u201clarge meeting\u201d at the White House on Wednesday amid international consternation over the catastrophic conditions in Gaza, where a UN-backed panel declared a famine last week for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very comprehensive plan we\u2019re putting together on the next day [for Gaza] that I think many people are going to be \u2014 they\u2019re going to see how robust it is and how it\u2019s \u2014 how well-meaning it is,\u201d Witkoff told Fox News on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s foreign minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar was also set to meet US secretary of state Marco Rubio on Wednesday, at which the pair were expected to discuss developments in Gaza and the occupied West Bank,\u00a0including efforts towards a ceasefire deal.<\/p>\n<p>Witkoff\u2019s comments came after Trump this week suggested that the war could be over in two to three weeks and that he had told the Israelis to \u201cget it settled soon\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think that we\u2019re going to settle this one way or another, certainly before the end of this year,\u201d Witkoff told Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Previous efforts by the US, Egypt and Qatar to mediate an end to the fighting have repeatedly stalled, with Israel and Hamas at odds over fundamental aspects of what any deal should include.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Hamas accepted a proposal for a temporary ceasefire that mediators said was largely similar to one put forward by Witkoff in May and previously accepted by Israel, which would free some of the remaining hostages in exchange for a 60-day truce.<\/p>\n<p>But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has in recent weeks insisted that Israel is now only interested in a deal that brings home all the hostages in one go.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli officials have also insisted that they will go ahead with their plans to take over Gaza City, with the military\u2019s Arabic spokesman saying on Wednesday that the evacuation of the city was \u201cinevitable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has provided no further details on the substance or timing of the Wednesday meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump has been clear that he wants the war to end, and he wants peace and prosperity for everyone in the region,\u201d a White House official said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump administration officials in recent weeks pushed back against plans by major US allies \u2014 including the UK, France, Canada and Australia \u2014 to recognise Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly meeting next month.<\/p>\n<p>Trump earlier this year suggested that the US should take control of Gaza, expel the population, and rebuild the shattered territory into a Mediterranean \u201cRiviera\u201d \u2014 comments that appeared to shock both the members of his own administration and his Israeli counterparts, but which have since been embraced by Israeli ministers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by<\/em> <em>Steff Ch\u00e1vez in Washington<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Donald #Trump #prepare #comprehensive #plan
