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.

The U.S. is sending 200 troops to help coordinate the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, aiming to ensure the peace plan stays in place. This includes a 20-point peace plan coordinated by the UN to prevent aid from being misused by leaders in Gaza.

American officials said that the U.S. Central Command, led by Admiral Brad Cooper, will establish a civil military coordination center in Israel to provide security and humanitarian support. This center aims to coordinate everything from humanitarian assistance to security support and the execution of the ceasefire agreement.

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.

The ceasefire in Gaza has finally gone into effect after both Israel and Hamas agreed to phase one of the peace plan outlined by the Trump administration. However, 200 American troops are being sent to Israel, which feels like a line being crossed.

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'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.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, key figures in the tactical negotiations, will remain active in implementing the peace deal, indicating ongoing U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process.
