President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying he would rather broker peace than send troops to Ukraine. The meeting came as tensions between the US and Russia remained high over the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

In a separate development, reunions in Israel and Gaza have stirred memories of a father's return from war for many people. The events, which included a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Gaza, were seen as an attempt to heal old wounds.

The CBS Evening News has been covering the story, providing updates on the latest developments and analysis from experts.

According to reports, Trump said he would rather work towards peace than resort to military action. The US president's comments came amid growing concerns about the potential for a war between Russia and Ukraine.

In related news, there have been several instances of reunions taking place in Israel and Gaza, which has raised hopes among some that the region may be moving towards a more peaceful future.

However, other analysts argue that such efforts are mere palliative measures, designed to distract from deeper issues driving the conflict.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Trump's comments . Like, is he actually serious about brokering peace or just trying to get out of a potentially messy situation? Either way, it's great that he's taking a step back from military action... but what about the fact that Russia and Ukraine are still at odds?

And can we talk about how crazy it is that these reunions in Israel and Gaza are happening during this time? It's like the universe is trying to send us a message: we need to find a way to coexist, people! But I also get why some folks might think it's just a Band-Aid solution – what about addressing the root causes of the conflict?

I don't know, maybe Trump knows something we don't... or maybe he's just winging it . Either way, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out .

I'm still trying to process what's going on with Ukraine. I mean, it's like, we're always hearing about how we gotta protect democracy and freedom, but sometimes I feel like we're just throwing money at problems instead of actually solving them . Trump's comments about wanting peace over troops is a good start, but can we really trust him to make the right move? It feels like it's all about geopolitics for him.

And on a completely different note, have you seen those reunions in Israel and Gaza lately? They're always so emotional. I guess they do show that people are trying to move forward from past conflicts. Maybe we can learn from each other's experiences instead of just repeating the same mistakes over and over .

I'm not sure about this Trump guy, he's all over the place on this Ukraine situation . One minute he's saying we're gonna send troops and the next he's talking about brokering peace? It's like he's trying to outsmart himself . But seriously, I get what he's saying - we need to find a way forward that doesn't involve more bloodshed.

Those reunions in Israel and Gaza are definitely a good sign . Seeing people from both sides coming together is a start, even if it's just a small one. And who knows, maybe it'll spark something bigger. But at the same time, I worry about these 'palliative measures' that some folks are talking about . Are we really addressing the root causes of this conflict or just papering over it?
