Breakthrough Deal
Former President Donald Trump brokered a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, ending two years of conflict that began after the October 2023 attack.
The ceasefire halted fighting that caused widespread destruction and loss of life.
Key Terms
With support from Qatar and regional partners, the deal secured the release of all 20 remaining Israeli hostages and more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners.
Trump urged Israeli leaders to shift from war to diplomacy, calling the agreement a turning point for stability.
Rare Bipartisan Praise
Former President Bill Clinton said Trump and his team “deserve great credit,” urging leaders to build on this “fragile moment.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the hostages’ release “a wonderful day” and thanked the administration.
Looking Ahead
Other Democrats praised the ceasefire and humanitarian aid, though not Trump directly.
Trump acknowledged uncertainty but pledged continued support for peace efforts.
