News of a truce between Israel and Hamas sent shockwaves through the mainstream media on Thursday as it appears President Donald Trump may finally have earned his Nobel Peace Prize.
The president plans to arrive in Israel on Saturday, two days before Hamas is set to release approximately 200 living hostages still in captivity. The first phase of the peace agreement also calls for Israel’s troops to withdraw to a fixed perimeter, with a final goal of total demobilization from Gaza.
On ABC News, correspondent Martha Raddatz appeared unrecognizable from her past pieces critical of Trump as she breathlessly recounted the last several hours of negotiations between the White House, Israel, and Middle East interlocutors with the terrorist organization.
“There’s no question that if this goes as planned, if we see those remaining hostages freed and Israel begin its withdrawal, it is a remarkable achievement and President Trump most certainly deserves credit for his role,” she said.
“He has done this through diplomacy, pressure, and the sheer force of his personality and persistence.”
Raddatz most recently stoked anger on the right when she asked three guests on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday show whether President Trump was right to blame the “radical Left” for the murder of Charlie Kirk. The Trump campaign denounced her attempts to ask other Republicans about his 2024 comment referring to Nikki Haley as “bird brain.”
On Wednesday, however, Raddatz had nothing but praise for the man she frequently focuses on with hostile questioning.
“He dispatched diplomats again and again. He made threats to Hamas in just the last few days, saying again if they did not sign the deal all hell would break loose, and they had the bombing of Iran as an example of that,” she explained.
But perhaps most importantly, she added, Trump “pushed Benjamin Netanyahu in ways his predecessor and others have not.”
Steve Witkoff, the U.S. envoy for peace missions, will arrive in Israel on Thursday to help convince the country’s cabinet to accept the deal, according to the NYT. Israel will withdraw to a line that leaves it in control of about 53% of Gaza; Hamas will then have 72 hours to return all remaining hostages.
Complicating the deal is an admission by Hamas that an untold number of bodies of hostages are now buried in rubble or areas outside its control. Israel has conditioned the deal on the return of all hostages, both living and dead.

cannot stand her but she was semi-cordial to some college conservatives who she interviewed who were reflecting on the death of Charlie Kirk.
so credit where it’s due.
Whatever, she still uglier on the inside than she is on the outside if that be possible.
Martha Radditz is the most toxic person on camera. Any gesture of fairness or decency is merely the setup for a bloody attack. Don’t fall for it. She is that “Frog and Scorpion” story. Know it.
Is the claimed lack of knowledge on the part of Hamad of the whereabouts of all hostages only with respect to dead hostages whose remains were lost track of, or unaccountably discarded (not handled with respect)?
Or are some hostages thought by Hamas to be still alive also among those whose whereabouts are unknown?
Martha moving slowly towards MAGA?
Miracles still happen.
Martha Ratchet.
With or without the Israel/Hamas pact, he's earned it in spades thanks to a ton of heavy lifting in other conflicts around the world.
That said, this new deal -- and its timing -- is gonna make it really embarrassing if the Nobel committee opts to announce any other name tomorrow.
The bar is low, Obama got it for nothing.
Well she is one of many $unts on TV and I hate her ugly guts, but there is so much competition to be the biggest dick, I'm not sure she wins hands down...did you ever see some of those gems on MS-NOW?
Trump actually deserves the Nobel Peace prize this year, and it isn’t even close. Multiple conflicts around the world were ended by his Administration’s efforts. Truly remarkable.
Greta will get the NPP..............
Ya, there is that undeserved Obama award. But worse… giving it to a two bit hustler and homicidal monster like Yassar Arafat. The Peace Prize committee proved themselves to be hard left morons.
Martha cried

He knows as well as just about everyone else that it’s become so politicized as to be meaningless.
“…approximately 200 living hostages still in captivity…”
That is overestimated by a factor of at least five.
“Or are some hostages thought by Hamas to be still alive also among those whose whereabouts are unknown?”
Hamas might have trouble returning hostages that they sold to Muslim warlords in Africa thousands of kilometers away from Gaza.

She knows that at least 50% of Conservatives are completely stunned that Trump negotiated a Cease Fire with the psychopath criminals in Hamas.
She cannot wait to report that alleged Trump Peace Prize advocates are in a shouting match with Conservative Israel supporters at Free Republic.
I actually believe that's exactly it. First black President gets the Nobel not because of anything he actually did, but because of how he made some people "feel".
I think even Obama was embarrassed by it.
