Trump Urges Leaders to Put 'Old Feuds' Aside as He Calls for a New Era of Harmony in the Middle East
The ceasefire plan includes hostage releases, prisoner exchanges, humanitarian aid, and partial Israeli withdrawals, marking initial steps toward peace in the Middle East.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump arrived in Egypt for a global summit on Gaza's future after securing a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, urging leaders to `put the old feuds and bitter hatreds behind us.`
- The ceasefire's first phase includes final hostage releases, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners freed, a surge of humanitarian aid, and Israel reopening five border crossings.
- Much of Gaza has been reduced to rubble and its roughly 2 million residents face desperate conditions, while roughly 200 U.S. troops will help support and monitor the ceasefire.
- The moment remains fragile as Israel and Hamas are still early in implementing the first phase and have not agreed on Gaza's postwar governance, reconstruction, or Hamas disarmament.
- Trump frames the moment as a chance to reshape the region, saying there is a window to reset Israel-Arab ties while the White House notes Arab and Muslim states' renewed focus after two years of war that began on Oct. 7, 2023.
