President Trump announced Wednesday a ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Hamas, paving the way for the release of 20 living hostages and relief for nearly 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Trump said the two sides signed off on “the first Phase” of a peace plan he announced late last month, a major reprieve to halt more than two years of war since Hamas brutally attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing approximately 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages.
The president touted the first phase “as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!” in a post on his social media site Truth Social.
“This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement minutes later. “With God’s help we will bring them all home,” he said, referring to the hostages. Hamas also holds the bodies of 28 hostages.
The ceasefire deal comes after Hamas and Israel agreed last week to enter into negotiations, with senior officials arriving in Egypt on Monday to solidify the deal.
Full details of the ceasefire deal were not immediately publicized. Majed al-Ansari, advisor to Qatar’s prime minister, said in a post on X that the details for implementing the first phase of the deal would be announced later, but will include halting the war, for Hamas to release hostages, for Israel to release Palestinian prisoners and for aid to enter the strip.
