What Do You Think of Trump’s Brokering Peace Between Israel and Gaza?

A true historical event took place over the past week, and it happened because of Donald Trump. Many Americans may refuse to give Trump credit for what he did to end the war between Hamas and Israel, but the people of Israel enthusiastically welcomed Trump to Israel as a hero.

The people of Israel recognize that Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, which led to the release of the twenty remaining living hostages held by Hamas. Rebeka Zeljko described the scene in Israel as follows. 

Trump arrived in Israel to find newspapers praising the peacemaker, roaring applause and standing ovations in the Knesset, and even some attendees wearing MAGA-style hats celebrating the “peace president.” The 20 remaining living hostages were returned to their families on Monday.

For the first time in over two years, Hamas no longer holds any living hostages thanks to Trump’s historic peace deal….

Trump met with all the families of the hostages following their release, many of them recounting the horrors that took place on October 7, 2023. The hostages also expressed overwhelming gratitude for Trump’s peace deal, saying if it were not for him, they might not be alive.

One hostage told Trump about meeting, for the first time, his 14-month-old daughter, who was born while he was in captivity.

“I got my life back thanks to you and your staff,” the freed hostage told Trump. “I came back here, met my baby girl when she was already 14 months old, and now, life is full.”

“Your name will be remembered for generations,” another hostage family said.

Newsweek reported an announced plan for President Donald Trump to receive the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor. This is most prestigious award give by Israel to civilians, and it was given to Trump “for his role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire and securing the release of hostages.” 

Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced on Monday that Trump would receive the honor, as Israel confirmed that Hamas had released the first group of hostages captured on October 7, 2023….

In his announcement, Herzog also referred to Trump’s role in establishing the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.

He also noted the U.S.’s “decisive strike on Iran’s nuclear program” in June, which Washington said had destroyed Tehran’s atomic weapons program.

Herzog said Trump’s legacy would be “remembered for generations by the State of Israel and the Jewish people,” and that the U.S. president had shown “commitment to leading the entire region toward an era of peace and cooperation.”

As one could expect, “President Donald Turmp took a victory lap on Monday” when he spoke before the Israel Knesset and called it a “new dawn in the Middle East.” Then he traveled to Egypt to lead “world leaders in affirming a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.”

The world increased hope for peace last week when “Trump announced both parties had signed his 20-point peace plan,” which put “a stop to two years of conflict by requiring Hamas to return Israeli hostages and Israel to withdraw its troops from Gaza.” 

At this site, Virginia Allen shares the experiences of some of the final twenty living hostages reuniting with their families after 738 days in Hamas captivity. She shows “Images of fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, and sisters embracing their loved ones after two years of separation.” 

After brokering eight peace deals in eight months, Trump has earned the title of being a “peace president.” He inherited a world at war, but he brought peace to the Middle East and is acting to bring peace to the entire world. The question remains about the possibility of Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
