WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday on the social media platform TruthSocial that Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of his proposed peace plan.
“This means that all hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw its forces to the agreed upon lines as the first steps toward a strong, lasting and everlasting peace,” Trump wrote.
He thanked the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey for this “historic and unprecedented event.”
Speaking to reporters earlier in the day at the White House, Trump said he might travel to the Middle East "later this weekend."
Israel and Hamas began indirect ceasefire talks in Gaza on Monday in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Since the war began on October 7, 2023, Israeli airstrikes have devastated the Gaza Strip, causing widespread famine and displacement. According to Gaza health authorities, at least 67,183 people have been killed and 169,841 wounded.
