Trump Urges Quick Implementation Of Gaza Ceasefire And Hostage Deal

Donald Trump looks focused.

US President-elect Donald Trump emphasized the importance of finalizing the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal before his inauguration, stating that the agreement would not have been possible without the involvement of his incoming administration. Trump expressed his desire to avoid inheriting the Israel-Hamas conflict as he prepares to assume office on January 20.

Analysts noted that Trump's impending presidency had added urgency to negotiations that had been ongoing for months. Trump credited his administration for changing the course of the deal swiftly, ensuring the release of hostages and the establishment of a ceasefire.

The cooperation between the two rival camps was crucial in achieving the ceasefire agreement, marking a rare instance of bipartisan collaboration in foreign policy.
