US EditionBiden national security adviser says ‘of course’ Trump should get credit on Israel-Hamas deal
Trump's diplomacy led to a ceasefire and the release of 20 hostages in Gaza, but significant challenges remain in implementing the full 20-point peace plan.
- On October 18, 2025, President Donald Trump arrived in Tel Aviv after a ceasefire and hostage exchange in Gaza, with Senator Mark Kelly and some Democrats crediting him for the deal.

- Experts such as Robert Malley cautioned that while more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed and around 1.9 million displaced, questions remain over funding more than $50 billion in reconstruction.
