Trump's Gaza Peace Plan: Hostages, Heat, and Hijinks

On a Monday airlifted from Air Force One en route to Israel, President Trump claimed his Gaza peace deal 'could be the biggest thing I was ever involved in,' right as Israel prepped to free the last 20 Hamas hostages. His peace puzzle pieces include a Knesset love sermon promising 'love and peace for eternity,' a rally featuring Ivanka, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff (who got booed for name-dropping Netanyahu), plus an Egypt summit sans Netanyahu but plus Mahmoud Abbas, because apparently Egyptian hosts draft their own guest lists. Trump bragged about ordering a June strike on Iran's nukes to soften Hamas’ mood, calling it lifting a 'black cloud' that had everyone cuddling up for peace.
