Trump to Axios: Gaza deal might by my biggest accomplishment

Trump said he'd watched parts of a rally for the hostages in Tel Aviv on Saturday. The speakers included his daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and envoy Steve Witkoff. The president said he'd spoken to the three about it afterwards. "It was an incredible rally. It was a great thing. Everybody is thrilled," he said. One aspect of the rally that gained attention online was that the crowd cheered when Trump's name was mentioned, but booed when Witkoff mentioned Netanyahu.

Trump thinks there is a narrow window to reshape the Mideast and reset long-fraught relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. It is a moment, the Republican president says, that has been helped along by his administration's support of Israel's decimation of Iranian proxies, including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
