Trump, Bibi, & Erdogan: Gaza Peace Deal or Reality Show Finale?

In a plot twist wilder than a reality TV reunion special, President Trump declared on Saturday they're 'close' to a Gaza peace deal—because nothing says diplomacy like telling Bibi 'you gotta be fine' about it. Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff jetted off to Egypt to iron out hostage release details and dream up a lasting peace while the Israeli military shifted to defense and officially hit 'pause' on airstrikes. Trump praised Turkey's Erdoğan as the 'tough guy friend' who leaned on Hamas like a cross-continental Uber driver demanding a fare. Amid the talk, Netanyahu confirmed the offensive's on ice to deploy the "Trump Plan"—because when in doubt, name it after yourself. Oh, and over 67,000 Palestinians have died, but Trump promised he'll get Israel's international fans back, like a kid begging to restart a canceled Minecraft server.
