After months of stalled negotiations, President Donald Trump has secured a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, following intense diplomatic efforts and significant support from Arab and Muslim allies. The agreement will pause the fighting that began after Hamas' October 2023 attack on Israel, with Hamas set to release 48 hostages in the coming days. The breakthrough came as Hamas recognized the hostages had become a liability, and negotiators, including Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, capitalized on the opportunity. Despite the deal, major questions remain about the future governance and reconstruction of Gaza, as well as whether Hamas will disarm, a key Israeli demand that has not been publicly accepted. For now, Trump appears to be delivering on his promise to bring home the remaining hostages, though the truce remains delicate and the path forward uncertain.
