Trump Announces Historic Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Hostages Set for Release

In a significant diplomatic development, President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas, marking the first phase of a broader plan to end the conflict in Gaza.

While the deal raises hopes of lasting peace in a war-torn region, essential questions about the post-war administration and Hamas's future status remain unanswered, stirring both optimism and cautious concern.

The historic accord, if executed, could reshape Middle Eastern geopolitics and stands as a pivotal foreign policy victory for Trump, amid ongoing tensions and challenges in the region.
