Trump’s remarks come over three months after Israel and Iran entered into a proxy war, after Israel launched air strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.Key nuclear scientists and military commanders were killed in the attack. The US joined the clash on June 22, 2025, with strikes on Iran’s Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan nuclear facilities.Despite the recent escalation between the Middle East nations, Trump seemed hopeful about expanding the Abraham Accords.“I said, I bet you at some point, Iran will be a member of the Accords. The agreements led to peace agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco.Meanwhile, the US president secured Netanyahu's backing on Monday for a Gaza peace proposal to end a nearly two-year-old war in the Palestinian enclave, but questions loomed over whether Hamas would accept the plan.Speaking at a joint White House press conference, Trump said they were "beyond very close" to an elusive peace deal, but he warned the Islamist group that Israel would have full U.S. support to take whatever action it deemed necessary if the militants rejected what he has offered.While Netanyahu was in Washington to meet Trump for pivotal talks, the White House released a 20-point document that calls for a ceasefire, an exchange of hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, a staged Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas disarmament, and a transitional government led by an international body.Trump thanked Netanyahu "for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we've seen for so many years, decades, even centuries, and begin a new chapter of security, peace, and prosperity for the entire region."
