WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday met for a second time in two days with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Gaza as Trump's Middle East envoy said Israel and Hamas were closing their differences on a ceasefire deal.

The two leaders' meeting came with no sign of a breakthrough yet in the latest round of Israel-Hamas negotiations in Qatar.

Talks resume in Qatar as Israeli PM set to hold talks with US president, who has said a deal could be reached this week.
