U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that "Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of the plan." In his post, Trump wrote: "I am very proud to announce that both Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of our peace plan. This means all hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw its forces to an agreed upon line - as a first step toward a strong, stable and lasting peace. All sides will be treated fairly! This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, for Israel, for all surrounding countries, and for the United States of America. We thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event possible. Blessed are the peacemakers!"
