Today, President Trump said the “war is over” with the release of the last twenty living Israeli hostages and almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The president flew to Israel and then to Egypt to discuss the next stages of the peace plan with world leaders at the Gaza summit. What is being discussed and are things really ‘over’?
