Israel and Hamas Accept Part of Trump Peace Plan
A significant development in the Middle East peace process occurred when President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the "first phase" of his peace plan.
The event unfolded at a roundtable event with conservative Christians, where photographer Evan Vucci noticed Senator Marco Rubio slipping Trump a note on White House stationery. The note read:
"You need to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first."
This prompted Trump to declare,
"We're very close to a deal in the Middle East."An hour later, Trump confirmed the news, stating that Israel and Hamas had agreed to pause fighting and release hostages, prisoners, and detainees.
