'Opportunity' for deal in Gaza, US envoy says, as Trump shrugs off two-state solution notion

Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Peace Missions, told reporters on Monday that there is an "opportunity to finally get a peace deal" in Gaza, but gave no timeline. 

Hamas officials had earlier confirmed that ceasefire talks wrapped up with no breakthrough. 

Witkoff spoke at the White House dinner for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

When asked about the potential for a two-state solution, Trump said he doesn't know, and deferred to Netanyahu.

Netanyahu said that while Palestinians must govern themselves, only Israel can control security.
