President Trump hinted that a peace deal regarding Gaza was very close to being reached as he addressed the press during Wednesday afternoon's roundtable on Antifa at the White House. He teased the possibility of heading to Egypt himself even.
The 20-point plan was first unveiled by the president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Monday. At this afternoon's roundtable, Trump confirmed that an agreement was in the offing, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio passed him a note that appears to read:
"Very close. We need you ... approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first"

I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Obviously, while this news is cause for celebration, we'll have to wait and see if Hamas actually follows through. But the president himself seems confident of this.
