President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas have formally agreed to the first phase of a U.S.-backed peace plan.
Trump said Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a peace deal that includes an Israeli troop withdrawal to a designated line and the release of all hostages. He described the development as a major step toward lasting peace in the region.
“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,” Trump wrote.
The deal was brokered with the help of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.
“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,” Trump continued.
