Palestinians in the Gaza Strip told the Associated Press on Monday that they doubt U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will result in a breakthrough in efforts to end the war in the coastal enclave.

Trump and Netanyahu are scheduled to meet in the Oval Office with a joint press conference expected later Monday.

The relationship between the leaders has become more tense lately and recent comments have hinted at growing impatience over the war in Gaza from Washington.

Trump’s proposal to stop the war in Gaza, according to three Arab officials briefed on the plan, calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages within 48 hours and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Palestinian enclave.

But people in Gaza have doubts.

"For two years we've been hearing that tomorrow, or the day after, there will be good news," said Mohammad Halabi, a displaced man from the northern refugee camp of Jabaliya, "we no longer believe anyone."

Fatima Halabi, who was also displaced from Jabaliya, said: "How come they hold conferences every day and then nothing happens the next day?! They can't do anything."

"We are drowning and clutching at straws, clutching to a dream, that there will be a permanent ceasefire, or a ceasefire and truce of 60 days. We are exhausted, I swear we are exhausted. Enough, entire generations have been lost," Jameel Abde, a displaced man from the northern town of Beit Lahiya, told the Associated Press.

On Friday, Trump raised expectations for the meeting with Netanyahu, telling reporters the U.S. was “very close to a deal on Gaza.”

Trump has made similar pronouncements in the past with nothing to show for it.
