President Donald Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed him a note indicating the United States is ‘very close to a deal in the Middle East,’ a revelation he made Wednesday at the White House during a roundtable on Antifa.
‘Yeah, I was just given a note by the Secretary of State saying that we’re very close to a deal in the Middle East, and they’ll get to need me, pretty quickly,’ Trump said.
Nearly two hours later, Trump posted on Truth Social that a deal had been struck.
‘I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan,’ he said. ‘This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.’
