U.S. President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace plan, marking a potential turning point in the Gaza conflict. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed the deal includes the release of all hostages and an Israeli troop withdrawal to a negotiated line, calling it a step toward "Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace." 🕊️
What’s in the Deal?
Hamas confirmed the agreement in a Thursday statement, outlining terms like a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a hostage-prisoner swap, and increased humanitarian aid. The group also urged international mediators—including Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye—to ensure Israel complies without delays. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to bring hostages home "with God's help" and plans to convene his government to approve the deal.
Mediators Confirm Progress 🚀
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry backed the announcement, stating that mediators finalized all provisions for the ceasefire’s first phase. Details remain under wraps but are expected soon. Trump hinted he might travel to Egypt this weekend to advance negotiations, adding momentum to the breakthrough.
While challenges remain, this deal offers hope for a region long plagued by violence. Stay tuned for updates as the story develops. ✨
