Trump Brokers an End to the Gaza War

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

President Donald Trump has finalized an end to the Israeli-Hamas war, winding down just two years of conflict. Hamas has agreed to turn over all the remaining hostages, and Israel will release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will also retreat to a pre-determined line of engagement, while not yet leaving Gaza.

The deal came about after intense pressure from the Trump administration on both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas to come to a deal.
