Trump Asserts U.S. Can End Gaza War "Right Now" in UN Meeting
In a bold statement during a meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump declared, “We want to end the war in Gaza. Maybe we can end it right now.”
The meeting, held on September 23, 2025, aimed to explore pathways to a ceasefire and post-war governance in Gaza. President Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “We’re going to get something done because it’s gone on too long.”
The gathering included leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. While the specifics of the discussions remain confidential, the U.S. administration is reportedly proposing a plan that involves the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the establishment of a Palestinian Authority-led governance, and the deployment of Arab and Muslim peacekeeping forces to maintain stability.
The meeting concluded without public comments from the U.S. delegation, though Israeli officials expressed support for the initiative, describing it as “a step in the right direction.” However, Palestinian officials criticized the plan, viewing it as a means to legitimize Israeli actions and undermine Palestinian sovereignty.
The international community remains watchful, with many questioning whether this diplomatic effort will lead to a lasting resolution or if it will be another in a series of failed attempts to address the ongoing conflict. The coming days will be crucial in determining the viability of this initiative and its potential impact on the region's future.
