A message delivered to Donald Trump concerning the Gaza peace agreement has provided insights into the events leading up to the announcement by the US President. Israel and Hamas agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Gaza to facilitate the release of remaining hostages in the upcoming days in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Trump revealed that both parties agreed to end hostilities on social media, shedding light on the White House’s internal workings.
During a roundtable discussion with conservative influencers and journalists, Secretary of State Marco Rubio discreetly informed Trump about the imminent deal. A photograph captured the note from Rubio on White House stationery, urging Trump to approve a social media post to announce the agreement promptly.
The incident revealed that Trump may not personally write his social media posts but rather approves them before they are published. Despite the urgency of the situation, Trump initially continued engaging with influencers and the press before eventually announcing the imminent deal in the Middle East.
While Trump expressed confidence in his team’s ability to handle the situation in his absence, he emphasized the importance of achieving peace in the Middle East. Subsequently, he delegated responsibilities to key officials and reiterated his commitment to resolving the conflict.
Following the note’s delivery, Trump promptly confirmed the agreement on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating that Israel and Hamas had endorsed the initial phase of the peace plan. He expressed optimism about the prospects for peace in the region and praised the efforts of mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey in facilitating the historic agreement.
