"Think he should get a lot of credit. I mean, this was his deal. He worked this out. He sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner over to negotiate this. And so far, it's gone well. Hopefully, the hostages get released here might not be within 24 hours but certainly, I think, by Monday. And that's progress. And now we're going to have to see what happens next, replied Kelly."
"You know, my hope is the Saudis, the Emiratis, they step up and they do what they said they would do, which is invest in rebuilding Gaza, which 90 percent of the homes have been destroyed. It is such a tragic situation. It's good to see these 600 aid trucks. That should have been happening over the last two years. You know, feed people who just are starving and struggling."
"I think it's possible, I am concerned, that they may change their minds here. They're in a challenging spot. The Iranians, their benefactor, is not what it was even just months ago. So I think they see the writing on the wall here that things have turned not in their direction, which is a good thing. I think that allows us to get this deal."
President Donald Trump brokered a Gaza deal between Israel and Hamas that included envoy negotiations by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and enabled delivery of 600 aid trucks. The agreement aims for hostage releases potentially within days and requires disarmament of Hamas as a contentious point among roughly twenty-one plan items. The deal depends on regional investment from Saudi Arabia and the UAE to rebuild Gaza, where about 90 percent of homes were destroyed. The agreement faces risks if Hamas or Iran change positions, and many conditions must be met to move toward a lasting peace.
