Iran will be part of the “whole” peace process in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump said late Wednesday adding that the ceasefire deal for Gaza is more about reaching peace in the region.

Axar.az informs, citing Al Arabiya, “This is more than Gaza, this is peace in the Middle East,” Trump said in a phone interview on Fox News, adding he believes “Iran is going to be actually a part of the whole peace situation.”

The Republican president spoke late Wednesday, hours after he announced the 20-point peace plan aimed at ending two years of a brutal war that left Gaza in ruins and unleashed a humanitarian disaster.

Under the plan, Palestinian militant group Hamas would release all hostages while Israel would pull its troops back to an agreed-upon line, Trump said after talks in Egypt resulted in an agreement.

“The world has come together around this deal,” Trump said, adding it was “great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so great for this country.”

The American leader has long suggested the Palestinian enclave along the Mediterranean Sea could eventually be rebuilt into a flourishing hub if tensions in the region ease, and he hinted at those hopes again Wednesday, adding that the United States would be involved.

Gaza is “going to be a place that reconstructs, and other countries in the area will help it reconstruct, because they have tremendous amounts of wealth, and they want to see that happen,” he said.

“And we’ll be involved in helping them make it successful and helping it stay peaceful.”
