On Thursday, a potentially historic agreement between Israel and Hamas began to take shape. The deal, brokered by President Trump, secures the exchange of all Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners. We ended the war in Gaza and really, on a much bigger basis, created peace. And I think it's going to be a lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace.

A ceasefire has been negotiated by the President of the United States and his team between Israel and the remnants of Hamas, leading to the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead bodies held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This is seen as a near-miraculous move by President Trump, who was able to mobilize the entire world, including the Arab world.

President Trump announced that all Israeli hostages would be released and that Israel would pull back its troops to an agreed-upon line, claiming this deal would bring peace to the whole region.

President Trump brokered an unthinkable deal: the release of the final 20 live Israeli hostages all at once, contrary to expectations that Hamas would prolong the process.

President Trump's announcement of a multi-stage peace deal between Israel and Hamas marks a significant diplomatic achievement. The first phase includes a ceasefire, unrestricted aid into Gaza, the release of Israeli hostages, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops. This deal is based on Trump's 20-point peace plan.

The Israeli cabinet has approved an agreement to stop the war in Gaza. This agreement includes Israel pulling back to a predefined border and the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead hostages within 72 hours of a ceasefire. Hamas claims this is the end of the war, but the United States says it could be if Hamas disarms and hands over governance.

Hamas has agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages, including the bodies of any deceased hostages, as part of President Trump's peace plan.

The release of 1,700 Palestinian hostages by Israel, many of whom were detained without charge, marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict. This event is part of a larger exchange that also saw the return of 20 Israeli hostages, highlighting the complex dynamics of prisoner swaps in the region.

Trump's peace plan with Hamas included a permanent ceasefire in exchange for the release of all hostages, but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was reportedly against it.

Hamas accepted the first phase of the Gaza peace plan brokered by the Trump team, and Israel's government was doing the same. If successful, the IDF will pull back to a designated perimeter, and Hamas will release the remaining hostages.
