BREAKING: Trump Signs Historic Gaza Israel Peace Plan in Egypt

Gaza ceasefire day brings a historic hostage return—and tough questions about what changes next. Sally Lockwood (Dubai) and @TaraPalmeri (New York) debrief with Israeli military analyst Amos Harel on Israel’s mood, Netanyahu’s coalition pressures, and how U.S. leverage and Qatar mediation pushed the deal through. We look at the contrast between Israeli homecomings and Palestinian prisoner releases amid Gaza’s devastation, whether Trump can keep Netanyahu from resuming fighting, and what a “war is over” claim really means. Amos explains the concessions, why far-right partners didn’t bolt, and the risks if Hamas won’t disarm. Plus: what happens to the remaining bodies, and whether broader normalization or a final agreement is realistic. Clear, candid analysis from voices on the ground.
