U.S. troops are headed to the Middle East to help ensure the first phase of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas holds. The plan is moving forward, with hopes of bringing the hostages home and a chance for more aid to make its way into Gaza.
In both Israel and Gaza, public celebrations are unfolding as news of this deal spreads.
It has now been two years since the Hamas terror attacks that sparked this war. Local health officials in Gaza say that Israel’s war on Hamas has claimed the lives of more than 67,000 Palestinians.
President Donald Trump is now saying that both Israel and Hamas have agreed to a peace plan. Trump also said he plans to travel to Egypt for an official signing of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and that hostages will be released “on Monday or Tuesday.”
