Leaving the White House for the Navy’s 250th celebration on Sunday, President Donald Trump continued to celebrate his Gaza peace proposal while admitting that negotiations are still ongoing.
“They’re in negotiation right now as we speak, they’ve started the negotiation. It will last a couple of days. We’ll see how it turns out. But I’m hearing it’s going very well,” Trump said.
Trump was pressed by a reporter on his faith in a Palestinian Authority to control Gaza without Hamas influence, getting mad at the reporter for doubting the deal.

“Well, it’s a great deal for Israel, and it’s a great deal for everybody. And you want to get hostages back, right? You want them back? Or do you not want them back?” Trump quipped at the reporter who said she worked for an Israeli media company.
“It’s a great deal for Israel. It’s a great deal for the entire Arab world, Muslim world, and world. So we’re very happy,” Trump said.
Trump’s irritation comes as Axios reported Sunday morning, Trump got mad when Netanyahu said there was nothing to celebrate after Trump called him to discuss Hamas’ “yes” to his peace proposal.
“I don’t know why you’re always so f—king negative. This is a win. Take it,” Axios reported.
