"I think we're going to have a deal on Gaza very soon," U.S. President Trump told reporters as he traveled back to Washington from New York on Sunday (September 7), without offering any details.

He added that he thought all the hostages would be returned, dead or alive. "I think we're going to get them all."

On Saturday, Israel's N12 News reported that Trump has put forth a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas.

Under the deal, Hamas would free all the remaining 48 hostages on the first day of the truce in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel and negotiate an end to the war during a ceasefire in the enclave, according to N12.

An Israeli official said Israel was "seriously considering" Trump's proposal but did not elaborate on its details.

"I meant to come back and see you at the plane, but some things came up having to do with Hamas, etc., and we're working on a solution that maybe could be very good."

REPORTER SAYING: "Could you tell us about that solution?"

TRUMP: "No, but you'll be hearing about it pretty soon. We're trying to get it ended, get the hostages back, get it ended. We got them all back but 20, and as you know, we had 20, plus there are a lot of unfortunately dead bodies involved. And they want them back. The parents want him back. So, we had some very good discussions. Good things could happen."

REPORTER ASKING OFF CAMERA: "What's the advice getting to you and why did you bring it back into work?"

TRUMP: "I think, I think we're going to have a deal on Gaza very soon. It's a hell of a problem. Again, it's a problem we want to solve for the Middle East, for Israel, for everybody. But it's a problem we're going to get done. So, they have hostages. It could be a little bit less than 20 because, you know, they tend to die. Right? They tend to die, even though they're young people, largely, they die. Young people don't die. Young people stay alive. But with this whole thing, they tend to die. But we have, let's say, 20 people and we have about 38 bodies, bodies, meaning bodies."
