Summary

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.”
He refers to it as the “granddaddy of them all” among peace efforts.
The text includes his speech excerpts on Air Force One and before the Israeli parliament (Knesset).

4. Reactions and Praise

The piece highlights unusually bipartisan and international praise:

Hillary Clinton commends Trump’s efforts, calling the deal “a really significant first step.”
Major news outlets—CBS and NBC—report on it with positive framing, using phrases like “historic peace deal” and “landmark diplomatic success.”
Netanyahu is quoted calling Trump “the greatest friend the State of Israel has ever had.”
