Trump had been working toward the peace deal
Trump’s post about the peace deal came after he announced on Saturday that Israel had agreed to a proposed withdrawal line and once Hamas agreed, a ceasefire would "be IMMEDIATELY effective."
"After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas," Trump said at the time.
He also added, "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."
