After what has been a seemingly never-ending conflict, it appears as though President Donald Trump has announced great news as far as the Israel-Gaza war is concerned.
According to Fox News, the president announced over the weekend that Israel has agreed to an "initial withdrawal line" in Gaza, which would trigger an immediate ceasefire and an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
It was noted in the president's statement that the line had been shown to Hamas. The terrorist group has yet to confirm it's on board, but experts believe it will happen.
President Trump shared the fantastic news in a Truth Social post, saying the deal would bring an end to a "3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE."
The president's post on his Truth Social account provided details regarding the situation, assuming it unfolds as planned.
"After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas. When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE," Trump wrote.
He added, "Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!"
Notably, Trump's announcement was published just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at a "great achievement" on the horizon.
"It is not yet final; we are working on it diligently, and I hope, with God's help, that in the coming days, during the Sukkot holiday, I will be able to inform you about the return of all our hostages, both living and deceased, in one phase, while the IDF remains deep within the Strip and in the controlling areas within it."
Fox News noted:
Netanyahu claimed that after intense military and diplomatic pressure, Hamas was pressured into agreeing to Israel’s proposed plan, rejecting the fact that Hamas had previously been ready to release the Israeli hostages without a full withdrawal from Gaza.
Users across social media had plenty to say about a potential deal that would hopefully bring the war to an end.
