In a surprising twist, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Israel and Hamas have officially signed off on the first phase of a Gaza peace plan! 🎉
Trump praised the "historic and unprecedented event," giving a shout-out to mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye for their behind-the-scenes work. This is the first light at the end of the tunnel since the conflict intensified on October 7, 2023.
The war has taken a devastating toll: Gaza health authorities report at least 67,183 people killed and 169,841 injured after relentless airstrikes. Widespread displacement and famine have created a humanitarian crisis that's been hard to ignore.
While details on Phase 1 remain scant, the agreement signals hope for a roadmap toward peace—something that many have been waiting for. 🌍✨
Stay tuned as mediators and stakeholders gear up for the next steps in this high-stakes process. Could this be the start of lasting calm in the region? 🤔
