"President Donald Trump, speaking in Israel on the day that Hamas released all living Israeli hostages and Israel released Palestinian prisoners and detainees, framed the agreement he helped broker as a "historic dawn of a new Middle East." He told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, "This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God.""
"After his speech, Trump flew to Egypt to sign the deal with world leaders at a summit that launched the first phase of the agreement. Under the plan, Arab and international partners will develop a stabilization force to deploy in Gaza, while day-to-day governance would shift from Hamas to a Palestinian committee. The committee will include Palestinians and international experts, with oversight by the "Board of Peace," chaired by Trump and including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair."
An agreement produced a Gaza ceasefire and the release of 20 Israeli hostages, 250 Palestinian prisoners and about 1,700 Palestinian detainees held without charges. The deal launched the first phase of a 20-point plan while acknowledging that future phases remain complicated and uncertain. Arab and international partners will develop a stabilization force for Gaza and day-to-day governance will shift from Hamas to a Palestinian committee of Palestinians and international experts. Oversight will be provided by a "Board of Peace" chaired by Trump and including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The agreement was signed at a summit in Egypt.
