US President Donald Trump posts on social media that “Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan”.
The rest of the post reads: “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. 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!”
President Trump’s announcement followed a dramatic series of developments both at the location of mediated negotiations between Israel and Hamas at Sharm el Sheikh in Eygpt, and in Washington.
