US President-elect Donald Trump may likely ask Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare victory in Gaza and broker a ceasefire, according to CNN sources. A former Israeli diplomat said Trump is expected to show interest in ending the conflict and will seek to mediate the situation.

According to the source, Trump will likely ask Netanyahu to make a statement about the successes achieved, which will allow Israel to emerge from the conflict as a winner, after which the process of concluding a truce will begin. The former Israeli diplomat also noted that Trump, as the new head of the United States, does not benefit from the deepening of regional conflicts and prefers quick and politically advantageous solutions.

This approach could represent a US strategy to reduce tensions in the region through the establishment of a ceasefire and stabilization of the situation in the Gaza Strip.
