Trump envoy says Gaza ceasefire possible by end of week

US President Donald Trump's special envoy for peace missions, Steve Witkoff, said on Tuesday that he is hopeful for an agreement to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza by the end of the week. 

His comments follow a Monday meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to remain in Washington for talks with several lawmakers before heading back to Israel on Thursday.

Trump confirmed that he will have a second meeting with Netanyahu on Tuesday, following their dinner at the White House on Monday.
