Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to the initial phase of his proposed peace plan for Gaza. Speaking on his social media platform, Truth Social, the former U.S. president described the agreement as a major breakthrough and a crucial step toward long-term stability in the region.
Trump claimed the deal would soon lead to the release of all hostages and the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces to a pre-agreed line. He framed this as laying the groundwork for a sustainable peace, one that treats all sides fairly and aims to end the ongoing conflict for good.
He also highlighted the diplomatic efforts of Qatar and Egypt, praising both nations for their key roles in facilitating negotiations. Trump credited them with helping move the situation toward what he called a “diplomatic turning point.”
Earlier that same day, he hinted at a possible visit to the Middle East before the week’s end, suggesting that a ceasefire in Gaza could be announced imminently. His remarks follow the recent unveiling of a 20-point peace plan, which he has described as a comprehensive roadmap to ending the war swiftly and decisively.
While specific details of the agreement remain limited, Trump’s announcement signals a possible shift in the conflict’s trajectory—if the commitments from both sides hold.
