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.

In November 2023, there was a ceasefire under the Biden administration where 50 Israeli hostages were released, 150 Palestinians were released. In January 2025, just before Donald Trump took office, there was another ceasefire as part of a multi-phase agreement by the Biden administration.

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.

Despite a ceasefire and the release of 20 hostages, the situation between Israel and Hamas isn't resolved. Donald Trump's claim of solving eight wars, including this one, is seen as fraudulent since the core issues remain unaddressed.

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.

President Donald Trump, the driving force behind a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, potentially ending the two-year war in the Middle East. It is a major diplomatic accomplishment, one that even reporters and pundits on legacy media have been forced to admit President Trump deserves full credit for.

Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement for the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, a breakthrough that could be a crucial step toward an end to the two-year war in Gaza.

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.
