　　“我们仍然需要完成在加沙的工作，释放我们所有的人质，消灭和摧毁哈马斯的军队，”内塔尼亚胡在与众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊私下会晤后对记者说和治理能力，因为为了我们，为了所有人，加沙必须有不同的未来，没有一个国家会降低要求。我们当然不会。这些都是我和特朗普总统讨论过的事情。在这次访问的晚些时候，我可能会与他进一步讨论。"

　　在国务院，发言人塔米·布鲁斯(Tammy Bruce)一再表示乐观，认为停火协议将在“本周末”达成，但没有说明具体时间或具体内容，让政府对这一时间表充满信心。

State Department ‘hopeful’ of Israel-Hamas deal by the end of the week

　　Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected to discuss a possible ceasefire deal with Hamas when he met with President Trump on Tuesday.

　　“We have still to finish the job in Gaza, release all our hostages, eliminate and destroy Hamas' military,” Netanyahu said speaking to reporters in the Capitol following a private meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson. “And governance capabilities, because Gaza must have different future for our sake, for everyone's sake, and no country will settle for less. We certainly will not. These are all things that I discussed with President Trump. I may discuss further with him later in this visit.”

　　At the State Department, spokesperson Tammy Bruce repeatedly expressed optimism that a ceasefire deal would be reached “by the end of the week” -- but didn’t say exactly when or exactly what gave the administration confidence in that timeline.
