PHOTO: AFPUS President Donald Trump was upbeat about the chances of a Gaza deal Monday as he hosted Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to push the Israeli prime minister to accept his peace plan. "I am, I'm very confident," Trump told reporters as he greeted Netanyahu when asked if he was confident there would be peace in Gaza.
