A ceasefire deal has been reached to end 15 months of fighting in Gaza, Hamas and Israeli officials and a source briefed on the negotiations told NBC News on Wednesday. The hard-won agreement will also free dozens of hostages held in Gaza, as well as Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, bringing the first real break in violence since a weeklong truce expired Dec. 1, 2023.

He’ll probably be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

There has really not been any major fighting in a while. Honestly, Bibi fought a half a—d war.

True, but Trump never expects a compromise to make both sides happy.
If hostages come back alive it can be argued that this supersedes the value of eliminating every last Hams—but Gaza has paid a price, and IDF does not leave them or their Egypt border, so it may work out.
