Trump Gets Rare Praise From Legacy Media Over Gaza Peace Deal

By MEDIA

We’re standing at the edge of what could be a truly historic breakthrough — the release of the hostages and the end of the war in Gaza.

In a moment that captured the gravity of the situation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio quietly slipped a note to President Donald Trump during his roundtable with independent reporters on Antifa. You could feel the weight of it — the kind of moment that ends up in history books, when real leadership and diplomacy happen behind the scenes instead of in front of cameras:

Shortly after, President Trump took to Truth Social to announce that an agreement had been reached on the “first phase” of the plan — securing the release of the hostages.

Of course, when dealing with Hamas, nothing is ever straightforward. You always have to add the caveat, because history shows they’ll find a way to sabotage any deal or ceasefire the moment it doesn’t serve their interests. Still, it’s a major step forward — and one that only happened because there’s finally an administration willing to project strength instead of weakness.

Trump joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity to provide more details:

Trump believes that the hostages will be released by Monday:

Israeli sources have said the release is this weekend:

Two sources familiar with the negotiations earlier told The Times of Israel that Hamas would release all the remaining living hostages on Saturday. Twenty of the remaining 48 hostages are believed to be alive. All slain hostages that Hamas is able to locate are also to be released.

 

It’s a difference of timing, really — what we’re seeing now is agreement on the core principle of releasing the hostages, even as the finer details are still being hammered out. That’s what President Trump was referring to as the talks continued to evolve in real time.

The key takeaway is that the major hurdles appear to be cleared. Even Hamas is publicly admitting a deal has been reached — which tells you just how far along this process is:

The deal will be formally signed on Thursday in Egypt, the sources said, adding that the biggest issues in the Gaza talks have been resolved and what remains to be finalized is merely procedural.

Trump is set to head to the region this weekend. Invited by Netanyahu to address the Knesset, in a phone call they held some two hours after he announced the deal, the president indicated he would do so.

Even the liberal media — the same outlets that have spent years sneering at Trump — are now grudgingly admitting he may have actually pulled it off. Some are even suggesting he’s achieved what no one else could:

Trump even got an amazing acknowledgment from NBC’s left-wing hack Yamiche Alcindor:

Even Brett McGurk, a national security official who served under the Biden administration, couldn’t hide how significant the moment was. He reportedly called it “momentous” and admitted he was trying to hold it together because of how incredible it felt:

So while keeping fingers crossed that this all goes through, at least as of now, it looks like a deal is done. And Trump’s team got it done.
