Israel and Hamas have reached a deal to halt the fighting in the Gaza Strip and free more than a third of the Israeli hostages, who have had to endure more than 15 months of captivity, officials say.
The breakthrough deal is the first of its kind in more than a year. It will create a 42-day cease-fire in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
The pause in fighting will allow Israel and the terror group Hamas to negotiate the terms to release the 97 hostages remaining in Gaza.

This breakthrough deal has no mention of Trump.
Right before Trump’s deadline.
Israel got nothing for a cease fire.
The US Dept of State probably wrote this deal.
Let’s wait to see what is in the deal
Why only a third of the hostages should be all of them.
@realDonaldTrump
This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.
With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven. We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!
We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!

The rats at state did this to give Biden a goodbye kiss and a probable Nobel prize.
Im glad that Trump posted this but you cant make peace with vermin and that is what Hamas is, 90 percent of Gaza is Hamas, how do you make peace with that
Biden will claim credit for it any minute now...
Until Hamas fucks it up again. Please...
Winning. Bigly.
Before he even takes office.
42 days = 6 weeks = Feb 26th. 2 days before the start of Ram A Dan month. Usually a time of year that Muslims fight with religious passion (literally).
When you trade something tangible for a promise of future behavior, you are asking for disappointment. Hope this works out better than ‘land for peace’ deals of the past.
The realities are these:
The Arabs and the Palestinians will just continue to try to destroy Israel. They have been attacking Jews since the Ottoman Empire and it’s not going to change. Even if Hamas goes, the basic concept that they can keep attacking the Jews without losing more land is ingrained into every Arabs mind. They have relinquished any attempt to live in peace, and so it is promised to continue.
The ceasefire is only temporary until the Arabs get enough backing to attack again. With the United Nations backing destroying Israel (see UN relief agencies involvement) and Iran, the will recruit, rebuild, and attempt Jew Genocide again.
The ‘Hostages’ have been physically and mentally abused and will never be normal again. They may be ‘alive’ only in the heartbeat sense of the word.
Turkey will likely help Iran to rebuild the forces against Israel, and NATO needs to strongly consider distancing itself from an inevitable attack on Israel from Turkey.
For me, so many have died, for so very little purpose, that the entire conflict makes me question the sanity of humanity. Endless war, murder, and suffering in a conflict with no end in sight.
Trump may have achieved a ceasefire, and hostages may come back, but he can’t change what’s in people’s hearts. Those beliefs are the seed for the next attempt at genocide.
And just like Iran, Jan 1981, just before Reagan was inaugurated.
any coincidence the person who will sooon lead the American military said just yesterday he hopes every member of Hamas is killed??
