Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal that's intended to end to the devastating Gaza war which unleashed the deadliest fighting ever between Israelis and Palestinians.
President Trump said on Truth Social that Israel and Hamas "have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan."
"This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! 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!"
The announcement came just hours after Trump told reporters at the White House he was prepared to travel to the Middle East as early as this weekend.
TVNL Comment: This has happened many times before, and Israel has always broken any deal to continue the cease fire agreement. Phase one is a beginning, but Netanyahu has stated he will never leave Gaza or the West Bank. Never. Watch this space. Once the hostages have been released, the bombing and the slaughter will continue. We would love to be wrong, but the message has been very clear.
