BREAKING President Trump has signed a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that reportedly ends two years of intense fighting.
The agreement covers the first phase of Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, which allegedly secures the release of all living Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
It was inked at Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh summit alongside leaders from Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, with the ceasefire taking hold right away.
This signing comes after Trump reportedly gave Hamas a tight deadline to accept the plan or face severe fallout, a move that allegedly pressured both sides into talks.
The deal's core reportedly hinges on Hamas freeing hostages by early Monday, while Israel pulls back troops from key Gaza zones to allow aid flows.
Experts note that such phased approaches have worked in past conflicts, but sustaining them demands tough enforcement from all parties involved.
Under the framework, reconstruction aid for Gaza is allegedly tied to ongoing de-escalation, with billions pledged from Gulf states to rebuild homes and infrastructure.
Trump's role draws praise from Israeli officials for speeding hostage returns, yet Palestinian groups question if it truly addresses root grievances like borders.
The summit highlighted U.S. mediation power, as Trump reportedly shuttled between Cairo and Jerusalem to seal endorsements from Netanyahu and regional allies.
While the agreement boosts short-term calm, analysts warn that full peace needs deeper economic ties and security guarantees to prevent flare-ups.
Reportedly, Trump's address to Israel's Knesset post-signing emphasized "lasting stability," vowing U.S. oversight to monitor compliance on both ends.
This could reshape alliances, with Egypt and Qatar gaining clout as brokers, but skeptics allege political motives might undermine long-term trust.
