Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing two-year conflict in Gaza. The announcement, made on Trump’s official X account, marks what many are calling a significant step toward regional peace and stability.
According to Trump, the agreement’s primary goals include reducing violence, opening communication channels, and ensuring humanitarian aid reaches civilians who have long suffered due to the blockade and unrest in Gaza.
Both sides have reportedly committed to confidence-building measures, including a gradual withdrawal of forces and discussions on prisoner exchanges. The move has been praised internationally, with Middle Eastern leaders and the United States urging all parties to uphold their commitments to maintain progress toward peace.
Diplomatic sources highlight that this first phase serves as a foundation for upcoming talks on governance, reconstruction, and long-term security in the region. Trump described the agreement as a “historic breakthrough”, stressing that enduring peace will depend on continued dialogue, trust, and cooperation between both parties.
The development offers a glimmer of hope for millions affected by years of conflict, marking a potential turning point in one of the world’s most complex geopolitical challenges.
