Netanyahu Praises Trump’s Leadership
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly credited Trump’s intervention for the breakthrough, stating he thanks “from the bottom of my heart President Trump and his team for mobilizing for this sacred mission of freeing our hostages.”
Netanyahu called it “a great day for Israel” and confirmed he will convene his government to approve the agreement. The Israeli leader invited Trump to address the Israeli parliament on Sunday, highlighting the strong US-Israel partnership restored under Trump’s presidency.
Comprehensive Deal Terms Revealed
The agreement requires Hamas to completely disarm in exchange for ending Israel’s military operation and includes the release of all 48 remaining hostages, with 21 still assessed to be alive.
Israel will withdraw its forces from Gaza and release 250 life-sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7th.
According to Israeli officials, living hostages will be released within 72 hours, though the return of deceased hostages’ bodies may take longer due to rubble complications.
International Oversight Framework Established
The deal establishes an international “Board of Peace” headed by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to oversee Gaza’s administration and reconstruction. This framework ensures long-term stability and prevents the territory from again becoming a terrorist stronghold.
Hamas acknowledged Trump’s efforts in their official statement, thanking the President “for his efforts to bring about an end to the war and the full withdrawal of the occupation from the Gaza Strip.”
