1. Historic Peace Agreement

Israel and Hamas ending a war that began in October 2023. We celebrate Trump’s role in brokering the deal, presenting it as a moment of global significance—“the end of the age of terror and death” and “a new dawn for the Middle East.”

2. Key Events Described

• Hostage exchange: Hamas releases the final 20 living Israeli hostages; Israel releases 1,900 Palestinian prisoners.

• Return of remains: The bodies of several deceased hostages are repatriated.

• Ceasefire and framework: The plan involves partial Israeli troop withdrawal, establishment of a technocratic Gaza administration (not Hamas-controlled), and disarmament conditions.

• Humanitarian aid: Large-scale relief efforts in Gaza are emphasized.

• International involvement: Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and others serve as guarantors; a reconstruction and aid summit is held in Egypt.

3. Trump’s Role and Statements

Trump was the chief architect and hero of the peace accord.

• He calls it “the greatest assemblage of countries in terms of wealth and power.”
