Trump’s ‘End of War’ Announcement: Gaza Still Says ‘Hold My Beer’

On October 9, 2025, President Trump threw a peace party nobody RSVP’d to, declaring the war in Gaza over and Gaza 'redone,' despite Israel’s security cabinet still playing hard to get with public approval. Families of hostages gathered passionately at the now-iconic Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, where Hatan Angrest championed Trump like he was a returning rock star, promising his son Matan and others’ homecomings—talk about high hopes! Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Forces reminded everyone that Gaza City remains 'extremely dangerous,' a small detail apparently omitted from Trump’s walking-on-sunshine moment. Such is the fine art of premature peace proclamations!
