Hamas has agreed to a peace deal pushed by President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages, two years after the terrorist network attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking not only the bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust, but a deadly war and a humanitarian crisis across the Gaza Strip.
Trump took to Truth Social Wednesday to make the announcement: "I am very proud to announce 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!"
Speaking to Sean Hannity, Trump said he expects the hostages to be released on Monday. He did not elaborate on whether he would be going to the region, although Netanyahu invited him to address the Israeli parliament on Sunday.
Moments before the president's announcement, photos emerged from the negotiation room in Sharm el-Sheikh showing senior officials embracing and shaking hands as reports indicated significant progress toward a hostage release deal. Retired General Nitzan Alon was seen shaking hands with Qatar’s Prime Minister Al-Thani, with special envoy Steve Witkoff in the background.

Yeah, I would not put it past them to back out.
hamas needs to resupply
The Gazans celebrated the deal by chanting this:

I’m detecting a fool, but it isn’t President Trump....
Amen to that. Rinse, wash, repeat. It will be the same old story. Release prisoners, let them rearm and the war starts all over again. Israel should have wiped them off the face of the Earth immediately after October 7th.
Which I’m sure they’re planning even now.
“But for the short term, you take the win and walk away.” … and guarantee that many others, in the future, will be taken hostage…
Hamass gonna do what Hamass gonna do. Day one capitulation, Day two recruit, rearm, start tunneling and wait for the next major strike opportunity. All of course while "rogue" Hamass agents continue to make continuous strikes in Israel.
......and the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 goes to.........the envelope please..............GRETA THUNBERG!...............
Just think how rich Trump would be right now if he had your brains all these years.
——very soon,——
It has not actually happened. Negotiations no will drag on and on.
Trump did not achieve the real objective he claimed. The deadline passed and there is only a cease fire.
Living Hostages return is scheduled for Monday.
The dead hostages shortly after.
This is part of phase 1 in President Trump’s plan.
I never believe anything that Hamas says, but they are near the end and have no options.
Qatar and Iran has kept Hamas afloat. Even Qatar is not happy with Hamas.
If this deal happens, Israel will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Hamas will come back and rebuild to continue their attempts to kill the Jews.
I am hopeful as well. Just cynical.
What I wrote, is not speculation.
Good source in the Middle East.
But yes, being skeptical is called for.
Trump has already posted the statement about first phase in Gaza, on his Truth Social.
There are a growing number of media sources (most off shore) that have reported Trump’s phase 1 is agreed to.
I absolutely don’t doubt that it is agreed to. I definitely doubt that Hamass will actually follow through.
There was in instagram video posted on FR about the Trump negotiations with Hamas. Trump told the translator to tell the lead Hamas negotiator to not harm a hair on any American heads or he would kill them. Trump then then pulled a satellite picture of lead negotiators mansion out of his pocket, handed it to the guy, and left the room.
Trump is bluffing. He lacks the will to fight. He persists in making a deal
Try re-reading the Fox news headline for this thread. If it was a bluff, it appears to have worked.
Israel doesn’t want peace. Look for a False Flag operation anytime now. Or Israel needs some breathing room to ready their next attack on Iran. In any event nothing is over.
