Donald Trump was the first world leader to announce on Wednesday that a deal to free hostages from captivity in Gaza in exchange for a cease-fire and the release of Palestinian terrorists was complete.
“We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East,” Trump posted on his Truth Social site. “They will be released shortly. Thank you!”
Soon after, the president-elect touted an “EPIC ceasefire agreement,” and said he is “thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be united with their families and loved ones.
With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven.
We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords.” [JewishInsider]
Good Night, Patriots!

"Israel and Hamas have agreed to a cease-fire deal that also ensures the release of hostages, Fox News has confirmed.
President Biden, joined by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, held a press conference Wednesday announcing that the deal would roll out in three phases.
Biden said the first phase will last six weeks and "includes a full and complete cease-fire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from all the populated areas of Gaza, and the release of a number of hostages held by Hamas, including women and elderly and the wounded. And I'm proud to say Americans will be part of that hostage release and phase one as well. And the vice president and I cannot wait to welcome them home," he said."

Trump isn't president yet, Lynn. He's not making any deals. He's not involved in any negotiations. He entertaining his guests at MAL. That's it.
Yes, I noticed Biden is taking credit for this cease fire. Trump was behind all of it whether he is president yet or not. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was the one negotiating. https://www.timesofisrael.com/arab-official-trump-envoy-swayed-netanyahu-more-in-one-meeting-than-biden-did-all-year/
