Trump to Axios: Gaza deal might be my biggest accomplishment
President Trump believes the Gaza peace deal could be his greatest achievement. Israel is preparing for the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas as Trump arrives. Trump's peace plan aims to end a war that has caused over 67,000 Palestinian deaths. Trump will address the Israeli Knesset and meet with hostage families and Netanyahu. He described a rally in Tel Aviv for hostages as "incredible." The rally drew attention as Trump was cheered while Netanyahu was booed. Trump is enthusiastic about the international conference supporting the peace deal in Egypt. He believes the wide range of attendees signifies global unity around his plan. Trump stated he facilitated this deal by attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. He claims this weakened Hamas's Iranian backers, leading to compromise.
