Trump, Israel ( Credit:Top india News)
International News: Donald Trump declared that Israel and Hamas signed off on the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire plan. Posting on Truth Social, he said, “I am proud to announce both Israel and Hamas have agreed.” According to Trump, all hostages will soon be freed. Israeli troops will also withdraw to an agreed line. This marks a first step toward “a strong, durable, everlasting peace.” The announcement drew global attention. Leaders called it a turning point in the conflict.
Qatar confirmed the deal publicly. Officials said they had agreed on how to begin the ceasefire. The first actions will include halting violence, freeing hostages, and sending aid. Humanitarian relief will be a priority. More details will follow soon.
The initial phase involves releasing 48 Israeli hostages. Reports say around 20 may still be alive. In exchange, Israel will free Palestinian prisoners. Hamas has already provided its list. Families on both sides are awaiting confirmation.
Speaking to reporters, Trump described it as a “great day for the world.” He said nations had united around peace. Trump emphasized fairness to all parties. He presented the deal as a global achievement. His words reflected optimism after months of war.
Trump hinted he may soon visit the Middle East. The purpose would be to support peace talks. He is expected to land in Israel soon. There, he may address the Knesset. His speech could signal stronger US involvement.
This visit will be Trump’s first since his White House return. His last trip came in 2016. In 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. He also moved the US embassy there. That decision reshaped Middle East diplomacy. The ceasefire plan is a hopeful start. Yet challenges remain for long-term stability. Skeptics fear violence could flare again. Success depends on both sides’ commitment. For now, hope outweighs fear across the region.
