Trump says Gaza ceasefire deal could be next week
US President Donald Trump said Saturday that it was a 'good thing' that Hamas has responded in 'positive spirit' on a US-brokered ceasefire proposal. Speaking to journalists on board Air Force, he said that there could be a deal on a Gaza ceasefire by next week, but added that he has no information regarding the current state of negotiations. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Israel has received Hamas's response on the ceasefire proposal and is currently looking into details. In the late hours of Friday, Hamas has said it has given its response to the ceasefire proposal to the mediators after consultations with Palestinian forces and factions. 'The movement has submitted a positive response to the mediators, and the movement is fully prepared to immediately enter into a round of negotiations regarding the mechanism for implementing this framework,' the group said in a statement posted on Telegram. In response, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement announced its support to Hamas's plans to start negotiations with Israel on a ceasefire in Gaza, but demanded additional 'guarantees' to ensure the truce would be permanent. 'We presented [Hamas] a number of detailed points on the mechanism for putting in place the mediators' proposal, and we want additional guarantees to assure us [that Israel] will not resume its aggression after [the captives] are freed,' Islamic Jihad said in a statement.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim condemns Gaza 'atrocities', expresses support for two-state solution
Malaysia on Friday expressed its "support" for France's efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestinian "two-state" solution, AFP reported. "We condemn the continued bombing and atrocities inflicted on civilians, women, and children. It is a shame that the international community is unable to put an end to them," Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said during his visit to France to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron. "I am of course interested in your initiative" to "try to resolve the ongoing conflict in Gaza", Ibrahim told Macron. Emmanuel Macron was scheduled to co-chair an international conference with Saudi Arabia at the United Nations in New York City on 17 June to revive a two-state solution, which he postponed. "The momentum we have initiated in preparation for the international conference for the implementation of the two-state solution, in conjunction with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, must continue as quickly as possible," Macron said on Friday. Macron met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday to discuss a new date. A new date is expected to be announced next week.
