U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday on social media platform Truth Social that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of a Gaza peace plan.

He thanked mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye for the "historic and unprecedented event."

Since the war erupted on October 7, 2023, Israeli airstrikes have devastated the Gaza Strip, causing widespread famine and displacement, and killing at least 67,183 people and injuring 169,841 others, according to Gaza's health authorities.
