In a cabinet meeting on Thursday, President Trump heralded a “historic breakthrough in the Middle East,” revealing his plans to travel to Egypt to sign a freshly brokered peace accord between Israel and Hamas.
“We have ended the conflict in Gaza, and broadly speaking, established a peace that I believe will endure—no, let’s aim for everlasting peace,” Trump confidently asserted during his introductory comments at the meeting.
“We’re headed to Egypt for an official signing event; we have had a preliminary signing on my behalf, but this will be the formal one,” he elaborated.
Trump emphasized this recent conflict resolution as his eighth successful intervention in global strife, asserting that speedily ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war would be his next achievement. “I foresee that coming to a close soon,” he proclaimed, pointing fingers at the chaos he attributes to the perceived ineffectiveness of the Biden administration.
“While we may be geographically distant, it’s crucial for us to care about the fallout abroad,” he remarked to journalists. “The war was a blunder that could have easily been avoided—I can assure you it wouldn’t have happened on my watch.”

Trump: Thank you all for gathering here today. As you may know, we achieved a monumental breakthrough in the Middle East last night, something previously deemed impossible. We’ve ended the war in Gaza, and we’ve taken significant strides towards securing peace—a peace I believe can stand the test of time. We’ve also managed to secure the release of all remaining hostages, with their return expected on Monday or Tuesday. The logistics are intricate, and I won’t disclose the details surrounding their release, but rest assured, a joyful reunion is on the horizon.
I’ll make every effort to visit Egypt shortly, as we work out the specifics of the timing. Our trip will coincide with a signing ceremony—this is an official proceeding that follows an earlier signing on my behalf.
The extraordinary aspect is the collaboration among nations from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to the UAE; they’re all aligning in unprecedented ways. The relationships they’ve forged through this process are genuinely commendable.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Trump announced on Wednesday evening that Israel and Hamas have reached phase one of their peace negotiations.
“Israel will pull back their troops to a mutually agreed line as an initial step towards a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace, and all hostages will be released very soon,” Trump stated on Truth Social. Reports indicate that there are currently 20 living hostages held by Hamas.
The Gateway Pundit will keep providing updates on the evolving peace deal and President Trump’s planned visit to the Middle East.
