In a momentous announcement at the White House, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a unified front, confirming Israel’s agreement to the ambitious "Eternal Peace" framework for ending the Gaza war. The leaders put the onus on Hamas to accept the terms, which promise a full hostage release within 72 hours and a complete demilitarization of the territory.
President Trump lauded Netanyahu as a “warrior” but stressed that the Israeli public now demands both peace and the return of hostages. The President took a moment to criticize European allies for “foolishly” recognizing a Palestinian state “out of fatigue,” insisting that his commitment to peace is unmatched, adding, “Bibi too.” He also confirmed his continued leadership in the peace process, stating, “My plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body. The board of peace… it will be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump… everybody wants to be on it now.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu affirmed his full support for the American plan, declaring, “I support Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza. It achieves Israel's war aims.” He acknowledged the immense sacrifice that led to this diplomatic turning point, stating, “We would not have achieved this turning point without the courage and sacrifice of our incredibly brave soldiers.
