In a remarkable moment of transparent diplomacy, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were simultaneously working on a Gaza peace agreement while conducting a domestic security roundtable event at the White House.
The cameras were rolling when President Trump stated the negotiation team was close to an agreement. WATCH:
Evan Vucci of the Associated Press captured an image of Rubio’s note, which read: “Very close. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.” Shortly after the roundtable event, President Trump shared the results of the discussions taking place in Egypt.
“I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”
~DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WASHINGTON DC – […] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, called it “a great day for Israel” and thanked the Israel Defense Forces and the U.S. president.
“Tomorrow I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our beloved hostages home,” he said in a statement. “I extend my gratitude to the brave IDF soldiers and all the security forces, whose courage and sacrifice have brought us to this day.”
He signaled support for a longer-term agreement, saying “With God’s help, together we will continue to achieve all our goals and enhance peace with our neighbors.” (more)
For the past several days U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have been in Egypt conducting negotiations with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani and Ron Dermer, the head of Israel’s negotiation team and a close confidant of Netanyahu. The Hamas delegation was led by Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official.
The agreement represents a significant diplomatic accomplishment by the Trump administration, and -if it holds- this will mean the end to two years of bloodshed and a spiraling humanitarian catastrophe.
As noted by Politico, “A Qatari official also heralded the agreement in a post on X, writing that the two sides agreed late Wednesday “on all terms and mechanisms for implementing the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which will lead to stopping the war, releasing Israeli detainees and Palestinian prisoners, and allowing aid to enter. The details will be announced later.”
In recent weeks, Trump worked closely with Qatar in particular to unify other Arab allies behind his peace plan and to help convince Hamas officials to accept the deal.
Throughout the non-political life of Donald Trump, he has always expressed an interest in solving the continual conflicts in the Middle East. Now, 40 years later as President of the USA, this remarkable objective could potentially be within grasp.
“Peace is the prize”
President Donald Trump and Secretary Marco Rubio will likely head to the region this weekend to participate in a remarkable peace agreement signing ceremony.
I think if we weren’t pretending we would recognize that we aren’t negotiating with Hamas, but those funding Hamas. Hamas is nothing but a band of gypsies without the money and weapons provided to them, and of coarse, directives on the who, what, when and where to attack.
The deed has been done and they will die.
What an amazing photo and caption for the times…and for the naysayers!
Spot the difference…
“A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.”
“We’re very close to a deal in the Middle East.”
Another reason the Establishment hates Trump…
“War is the Prize” vs. “Peace is the Prize”
The propaganda putzes are up ‘n’ at ’em, first thing I see in these comments.
Don’t feed the trolls.
Of course the leftists completely ignore the fact of hostages, still, after all this time has passed. For what real gain aside from their #1 product, raw sadistic terror?
👍
The Bottom Line: You don’t compromise with Satan!
God Bless America! In God We Trust! Truth, Justice, and the American Way!
And Obama, Biden, Hillary, Monaco, McCord, Wray, Comey, Big Tish and Fani wanted to put this man in jail.
Too bad Biden’s too senile to make public comments. I’d like to hear his response to this development.
The next big event in Biden’s life is his funeral. But, he has definitely earned his place in history: the worst President of the USA, so far. And, the competition was keen. He had to overcome Obama, Wilson, Carter, and others to achieve that distinction.
I look forward to comments (if any) on this peace deal by Obama, Clinton (both of them), and Bush43. Bill Clinton was desperate to make some kind of peace deal in the Middle East before he left office to make that his “legacy” instead of Monica.
I remember the Clinton thing very well. A peace agreement was to be signed. At the last-minute Yasser Arafat refused because he would not except Isreal as a sovereign nation.
Don’t forget LBJ!
Obama was by far worse. Joe just coasted.
Don’t forget LBJ, BJ Clinton, and both Bushes.
Dementia Joe was just a sock puppet for the third term of Chicago Jesus.
Biden was Sotero.
Big wind coming to Delaware soon, they better put some lead shoes on the man!
He was never the president. He was a liar and usurper who boasted of ‘the greatest vote fraud mechanism ever conceived’; which then stole the election and, with help of Pelosi and Pence, installed him as a petty dictator and puppet for his masters and owners
Excellent comment Wethal.
Thanks. So far Fetterman is the only Dem who’s publicly praised Trump.
According to Tony Blinken – Biden penned the Peace deal as a letter to be left in The Resolute desk for President Trump.
Leaving a letter in the Resolute desk is tradition, but I doubt that this peace deal was in it. Not that I doubt you; it’s just that the Dems will say anything to deny Trump credit for his successes.
This is great news and a great accomplishment. It is, however, as stated, zn agreement on phase 1. It gets the Israeli hostages back and Hamas gets about 2000 fighters back. I hope and pray the rest of the agreement is implemented peacefully, history says caution is necessary.
IF they give up the hostages, they lose their leverage against being obliterated.
If they don’t scurry out of Gaza promptly, they will be obliterated
Hamas also gets the Sinwar brothers back. Yarwan and Mohammed are currently on ice in an Israeli morgue.
The most remarkable thing to me in all this is the breathtaking energy of this administration. In a normal administration, a cease-fire to end this war would have been one of its main accomplishments over four years. For this one, it is just another Wednesday. Consider that this administration is also navigating a government shutdown, national guard troops in cities, attacks on ICE agents, and a million other things. Astonishing.
That is so true. They have so much being attended to just like PTrump promised they would. 4 years is a very short time in the world of politics, power and money and it’s even shortened to 2 years if the midterms go south. They are trying to accomplish as much as possible right now and unfortunately the Republican Congress isn’t always helping do that.
Hopefully, we get out and vote with large numbers,in next year’s elections, just as if there’s no tomorrow after if we don’t secure the House and Senate in Republican MAGA conservative hold, because there isn’t if we fail.
Start now to get involved in your local Republican party.
We need TRUE Conservatives to primary all those stinkin’ RINOS.
Dominion just bought out by a paper-ballot patriot firm. All gone.
And: reforming / shrinking the Federal givernment and reasserting Presidential authority over law enforcement, spending, and trade.
Spending Congress’ bailiwick.
Excellent point we would all do well to remember, especially those who want to criticize President Trump because he hasn’t yet achieved 100 percent perfection in all areas.
I enjoyed the way he welcomed Marco into the room. What a great time this is for our country!
The Golden Don has a a near-superhuman level of energy, it seems.
I believe that the Lord Himself is sustaining that man.
Amir Tsarfati says it was the targeted attack in Doha a month ago that shook Hamas’s cage.
The ones calling the shots were living the high life , unreached
by bombs or bullets. Until they were.
They found out the IDF can reach them wherever they hide.
Then all their friends who also hate Israel told them. This is your one and only chance. If you turn it down we will not be there for you.
Boom!
Indeed. Qatar seemed to take the hit in stride. A little bluster, international laws etc.. then quietly informed what remained of the Hamas leadership they best get to the negotiation table.
Don’t forget Trump’s bombing of Hamas’ patron, Iran. The US and Israel could reach Hamas leaders in Qatar, and Hamas’ patron, Iran. With its nuclear sites in ruins, Iran was not the threat to other Arab countries that it had been, so they could start looiking at Trump’s latest peace proposal.
What caused Hamas to agree to give up its chief bargaining chip, the Israeli hostages, for phase 1 of the deal was the unprecedented pressure against the terror group from Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt.
The Turks want sanctions relief, the F-35 stealth fighter, new F-16s, and greater cooperation with the US.
The Qataris got the apology from Israel for the failed airstrike and the US commitment to Doha’s national security through a new agreement/pact, and in exchange, had to deliver the hostages, which means delivering Hamas.
Egypt has been terrified of the specter of forced displacement of Gazans into Sinai, and its mobilization of the Egyptian army on the country’s eastern border raised tensions with Israel and threatened the peace treaty between the two countries, not to mention US foreign aid.
Cumulatively, this meant that the three countries (Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt) applied enormous pressure on Hamas, which is isolated, militarily weakened, its allies defeated, and without options.
…and I has a lot of H ( with not good, unrecanted hate of I mission )
isolated in a narrow strip of land, adjacent to the sea…
In essence, yes, few current options for H ( which took 2 year$ after Oct 7, 2023 to create at very high cost$ in lives etc ).
So, it’s a forced peace
and time and earnest good wills may determine the lasting peace.
[ domestically, in the u.s. there are miss lead ideologies and propaganda leading to illegal behaviors by some people that also need equal justice applied. ]
p.s.
It was good to witness and participate – with a furloughed employee
–
in civil behaviors,
freely enjoying the awesome natural beauty of open national parks
during the current u.s. govt. ‘ shutdown’. : )
( unlike the park shutdowns that a divisive b o implemented years ago )
And many appreciate the current Trump administration scrambling to help make good things still happen ( during a ‘shutdown’ ) including the corrective measures of the prior admin. illegal u.s. entries and the prior double standards in miss enforcement of laws etc. : ) : )
Imho
MAGA Blessings!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He deserves it but he doesn’t need it. That prize has lost a lot of its prestige since the leftist globalists took it over years ago. It’s highly biased and political now and not based solely on the good deeds of the person nominated. Obama was awarded it shortly after taking office and had nothing that qualified him for it whatsoever. Right there its value as a real commendation for great deeds done was nullified and muted the whole deal. It hasn’t recovered since.
The Nobel Peace Prize will never recover prestige after its award to B. Hussein Obama; just as the Pulitzer Prize will never recover from its award to various leftist liars.
Well, if he was running for Miss America, he would win for “world peace.”
True
Agree-we can only hope PDJT gets a chance to tell them to their face that they dimished the award by wokeness and politics as well as the efforts all the people who actually work hard for and achieve substantive results.
Nobel prize no longer has any meaning since being handed to Ozero at the beginning of his first term before he did anything.
But if PDJT decides to accept it, please maintain a wide gap between it and the war criminal Netanyahu.
Amen.
Whatever “peace” is achieved now will only be temporary. Trump and most people generally don’t have a clue about Islamic doctrine.
But, does it really surprise anyone that elected officials and well paid so-called experts are typically way behind the curve in just about everything?
I think Trump has done enough deals over the years to know that Hamas cannot be trusted. That’s the reason for the phased deal. Get the hostages home, and then wait. And stay prepared to move back into Gaza to stop any missiles, drones or incursions.
When you consider how God moves peace is possible.
2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Man cannot make peace without God.
I’ll believe it when I hear Imams across the Middle East renounce land claims to Judeia & Sumeria. Loudly, clearly and publicly – repeatedly. Next step is disarming HAMAS.
Yes, the disarming will be the hard part. You don’t just turn decades of hate, propaganda and zealotry on a dime.
Remember, these people were handing out candy, dancing in the streets on 9/11, praising Al Qaeda and Allah.
That just goes to show you how much damage has been wrought by US foreign policy over the last 100-odd years.
You might look into the British Empire and their Euro enablers over the last 300+ years to understand the world we live in today . . . Prometheanaction.com is very informative . . .
Certainly the US have made bad decisions . . . but sometimes with a little help.
MB must be designated a terrorist org and all assets frozen b4 hamas can b disarmed… follow the $$$
I will keep praying for peace and for Trump’s and his teams. discernment. Prayer is our weapon the weapon
of the masses.
Oohhh BOY!!!!!!!
Jesus tells us to look for the signs of the last days.
Peace deal for Israel 7 years.
3 1/2 years of relative peace and abundant prosperity.
Then just like the peace plan came in boom the deal is broken Gog the ruler of Magog North of Israel surrounds the tiny country.
Meanwhile:
Deception is heavy thru the entire world.
The mark of the beast is being set up. Planatier.
The Falling away from our Creator is the new thing. New age and watch the POPE he hasn’t taken long to become a Globalist.
Food is becoming very expensive.
Christianity is being persecuted thruought the world.
Our creators throne sits directly above Israel he uses the tiny nation to not only tell us the times we are in but that he is GOD.
Daniel Chapter 8 and Mathew 24 really tie our times together.
all nations shall turn against Israel. Is the peace deal a good thing or one mistake away from the turning?
When “all nations turn against Israel” then the Book of Revelation comes into play.
Daniel says at the point at which “peace and security” becomes the watchword status for Israel, THAT is when the Satanic Islamics will make their move.
It is eerie how this biblical phraseology is literally being spoken out loud 2,500 years after the prophecy was written.
And I see RJH posted something similar
Whatever happens, the will of God shall be carried out.
Yes he will I think we’re close to the event. The one where many of us disappear.
Our creator sits directly above Israel? Israel is a secular country with abortion on demand. The leader of Israel is a warmonger.
Well, the Archangel Michael is there.
Might want to read your Bible.
Just sayin’…
John Barnette has an hour on where he sits never moving. He our creator that is does his pleasure to prove he is God. You will see Israel the entire nation call out for Jesus to return that he is the /messiah. Jesus and his Saints behind him returns he then takes out the nations with his word. You think Israel has anything on America we have aborted more than Israels entire population since 1980. We might have 20% Christian representation in our govt the rest are Muslims Crooks and creeps yes the Muslims are both plus pedophiles. Were in the last days.
They are ready to start construction of the 3rd Temp soon . . . everything else is ready . . .
The Temple must exist before the AC will be revealed . . . the man of perdition who declares himself god at the 3 1/2 years point. Then we will know the date of Christ’s return . . .
Zechariah prophesied of that glorious day: “And the Lord will be King over all the earth. In that day the Lord will be one and His name one … Then everyone who survives of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” (Zechariah 14:9, 16)
1st Thessalonians ch 5 v 3
For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
Jeremiah ch 6 v 14/15
They have also healed the [c]hurt of My people [d]slightly,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
15Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed;
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
Ezekiel ch 13 v 10/12
Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster[e] it with untempered mortar— 11say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down. 12Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’ ”
Sundance is right-this is “history unfolding.”
It would also be accurate to say that this is a miracle from God happening in full view of the whole world.
Praise God for His miracles! May He bless and protect all the peacemakers who are being guided by His Holy Spirit in this endeavor.
I love how that unfolded in real time. Like many of the great things that has happened with this administration and his previous administration, it’s all right there in the open for the news media to see. Sleepy Joe hardly ever talk to the media and everything was done behind closed doors so we never got to see who was involved.
Actually, I think everything in Ol’ Joe’s administration was done under a slimy rock.
I thought Jared (and Ivanka) were not going to have anything to do with POTUS
second term..
I’d guess Jared came in for this, given he had some credibility with Middle Eastern leaders after the Abraham Accords.
Thankfully, you thought WRONG, and 20 or so live Israeli prisoners for 2 years will have freedom now, among many other good things!
He was 37 years old in the picture that Sundance posted!! That he was sought out to try to bring peace to the region at that age is amazing to me.
He also tried to promote nuclear nonproliferation, but was painted by the media as a silly princeling meddling in matters far beyond his understanding.
He also constantly talked about China… and that we better watch out because they were building up their military etc.
“President Trump is employing a classic negotiating tactic called incrementalism. It is best used in complex and prickly conflicts covered with thorns, distrust, gopher holes, landmines, and every other allegory for impossible-to-settle deals.
It works like this. The mediator sets the chessboard by first helping parties visualize the endgame’s rewards, sketching out a possible game path in general terms, then convinces the players to perform just one significant move, a mini-deal. If the mediator can accomplish that, momentum and investment unlock new levels.
As each successive incremental move toward a final deal are carefully played, it becomes increasingly harder to walk away from the game.

Yep.
Just get that first “yes.”
It was ALWAYS possible. What was lacking was the Will to do it. President Trump changed the global game. Everyone else needs to follow him. It’s peace and respect for each other. Enough with the world revolving around a few psychos who want legacy riches.
Historical moment: Rubio passes Trump note about Israel-Hamas peace deal trib.al/eePxrOo
And remind me …. Obongo got the Nobel Peace Prize for exactly what??
billions of US $$$ on pallets to Iran….
Participation trophy?
“ABC News’ Martha Raddatz on Trump achieving first phase of Israel-Hamas peace plan”….
Maybe Meacham and Woodward can collaborate on a work of establishment historical fiction no one wants to read: Peace in Gaza: How Presidents GHWB and Obunga laid the groundwork for a successful peace.
In a comment yesterday I believe, in part, I wrote how we are living and witnessing amazing times.
I also wrote that I’m holding on to Christ alone.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Just at the end of chapter 4 in 1 Thessalonians Paul is encouraging the Believers that they had not missed out on what we today call the Rapture.
I encourage looking to God’s timeline of the events we see unfold before our eyes.
Indeed, interesting time to be alive!
Yep.
God knew the end before the beginning and is sovereign in ALL things.
and the democrat water carriers for hamas/hizbullah will hate it, as will the euroweenies
Now if only we can bring peace between Trump and Taylor Swift the world would be perfect.
She is evil. Did you see the article about her on the Gateway Pundit?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/hospitals-gear-up-to-receive-returning-hostages-after-over-734-days-in-gaza-captivity/
https://www.timesofisrael.com/dead-hostages-families-worry-about-condition-in-which-they-will-be-returned-if-at-all/
For peace…for peace within those so deeply affected….
May things move forward without issue….
Who would have ever thought that even Hamas would be less difficult for The Man Of Peace to deal with than Vladimir Putin.
Truly crazy. I think Putin has become too inflated and arrogant through 20 years in power without his authority being challenged.
He’s making a huge strategic mistake by not settling or engaging in good faith negotiations
Could be because Putin is facing the Ukrainians, and Hamas took on Israel (including Mossad).
The problem is that Trump just doesn’t really have anything to negotiate with in that case. Putin has spent the last 20 years politely complaining about NATO creeping further and further eastward (in violation of guarantees given to Mikhail Gorbachev), and the Ukraine was simply the last straw, equivalent to the Soviet Union attempting to place missile bases in Cuba.
It’s a bit more complicated than that. when you consider Trump was offering a guarantee of no nato, pretty much the entirety of the Donbas, and economic integration
I think honestly Putin always wanted to take beyond the Donbas. Everything he’s saying indicates that
The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Russia.
Promising as long as the statement from the Founding Charter of the PLO/PLA does not find it’s was into anything establishing the GAZA Entity or related to the peace agreement.
i.e. The goal of the PLO/PLA is the elimination of the State of Israel and expulsion of ALL Jews (more likely anyone not Muslim) from the Middle East.
This single sentence has scuttled every “hopeful” peace negotiation since 1993 involving anyone with Palestinian in their title
Note to those who think there is some difference between Suni, Shite, or what ever Muslin …. for the time being there is NONE. Back before the Arab Spring fomented by Barrack Obama in 2010, there was a “Clerical” summit in Tehran where it was agreed that the fight for top dog in the Muslim World would be postponed until all other scores are settled with the non-believers.
Kind of makes one wonder what language is in the Abraham Accords, because that document is the common thread among the real nations (i.e. Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.) who are supporting this current effort.
Trump is the awesome. God bless DJT cabinet friends and family.
Matthew 12:34, even Christ called them a brood of vipers. even his wisdom cant open your eyes.
Go up to verse 24 and you will get an accurate picture of who Jesus was actually referring to in Mt 12:34
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Who is “Them” ?
If you read in context . . . it was addressed to Scribes and Pharasees . . . . religious leaders.
You want to apply that to ALL of the Jews and Israel . . . next you’ll be quoting Revelation 3 where Jesus describes the 7 Christian Churches and says some Christians are trying even then to usurp God’s Promises to the Jews.
Appears they had “Replacement Theology” even back then . . . . lol
Peace deals only work when both sides abide by them.
This all sounds great, but shouldn’t the celebrating and back slapping commence AFTER the hostages are released and secured?
Well that depends.
If its about the hostages and true peace enabled by the surrender of Hamas, then yes.
If its about the prevention of the total destruction of Hamas, then its time to celebrate already.

EU’s Kaja Kallas, Germany’s FM Wadephul Arrive in Paris to Push Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan
France hosts a high-level diplomatic meeting with top envoys from the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Indonesia, Canada, and Turkey.
The summit aims to advance President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

France’s High-Level Gaza Summit

So the entire world wants to join in to get a piece of the peace settlement. After condemnation of the State of Israel for two years and still ongoing hatred to that nation, everyone is looking for their chunk of credit to make this happen. I have no words that can describe the ‘contempt‘ I have towards the nations that are looking for a monetary piece of this particular pie after the failure to destroy the nation of Israel.
Europeans, Arabs flesh out Gaza transition ideas to weigh on Trump plan
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/europeans-arabs-meet-flesh-out-next-phase-trump-gaza-plan-2025-10-09/
Our President is
Courageous
Persistent
and
A risk-taker extraordinaire.
He is one in a million.
My hope is that he is successful in his endeavors to bring an end to conflict wherever he can.
I love the trolling for the Nobel peace prize….. Why would Trump find any significance in a prize that was given for Arafat and Obama among many other of that kind makes no sense.
I sure hope this works out for all concerned.
It would be such a remarkable achievement for Trump. And it would be great to have this war over.
Perhaps we should revisit the success of this in 5 years. Once again, 70% of Gazans approved of October 7. The leader responsible for the October 7 plan was released in a past exchange with Hamas, for one Israeli soldier. Gazan children are taught to hate and kill Jews from early childhood. While this peace agreement may tick all the boxes on paper, negotiating with terrorists never ends well.
