On way to Israel, Trump gets angry at Netanyahu not saying war is over, says 'you understand…'| Gaza

Aboard Air Force One, President Trump declared "the war is over" in Gaza, affirming that his U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is holding and predicting the region is set to "normalize." Trump outlined the immediate start of Gaza stabilization and reconstruction as detained hostages and prisoners prepare for exchange—a cornerstone of his 20-point peace plan dubbed historic by both regional and world leaders. Trump described near-universal acclaim from Middle Eastern, Jewish, and Muslim states, saying countries previously at odds are now united. He credited the deal’s success to intensive diplomacy, broad support from Arab governments, and the expectation that a new governing body for Gaza will be built quickly, even as he acknowledged challenges ahead like rebuilding and maintaining security.
