Trump sets off for Middle East to mark ceasefire deal
Share this @internewscast.com
US President Donald Trump is embarking on a trip to Israel and Egypt to acknowledge the US-facilitated ceasefire and hostage arrangement between Israel and Hamas. His mission is to encourage Middle Eastern allies to take this opportunity to establish lasting peace in this turbulent region.
This is a delicate time as Israel and Hamas have just begun implementing the initial stage of the Trump-brokered agreement aimed at achieving a permanent resolution to the conflict ignited by the October 7, 2023, assault on Israel by Hamas-affiliated militants.

Trump perceives a brief chance to transform the Middle East and improve the historically tense relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

Trump wants to expand the Abraham Accords

Much of Gaza lies in ruins, and its reconstruction is expected to span years. The approximate 2 million residents continue to endure dire conditions.

According to the agreement, Israel consented to reopen five border crossings, which will aid in alleviating the scarcity of food and other essentials in Gaza, where parts are facing famine.

Furthermore, Trump is initiating a US-led civil-military coordination center in Israel to aid the distribution of humanitarian aid and provide logistical and security support to Gaza.

Approximately 200 US troops will be deployed to assist in supporting and overseeing the ceasefire accord as part of a coalition that includes ally nations, non-governmental organizations, and private industry participants.

The White House has indicated that Trump intends to swiftly pivot towards expanding the initial effort known as the Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic and commercial relationships between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco.

A permanent agreement in Gaza would help pave the path for Trump to begin talks with Saudi Arabia as well Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, toward normalising ties with Israel, according to a senior Trump administration official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity.

Such a deal with Saudi Arabia, the most powerful and wealthy Arab state, has the potential to reshape the region and boost Israel’s standing in historic ways.

But brokering such an agreement remains a heavy lift as the kingdom has said it won’t officially recognise Israel before a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
