Earlier, Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of his administration’s peace plan, under which “all hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw troops to an agreed line”, calling it a step toward “a strong, durable, and everlasting peace.” He thanked Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey for mediating the deal.
Notably, Netanyahu had previously nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in July during a visit to the White House, praising him for “forging peace in one region after another.”
