US President Donald Trump announced his plans to travel to Cairo and Jerusalem to herald an agreement that has halted the fighting in Gaza.
According to Bloomberg, Trump told reporters on Friday, 10/10/2025, he would be meeting with “a lot of leaders from all over the world” who had been invited to visit Cairo for a ceremony celebrating a deal between Israel and Hamas that would see a truce and the release of hostages.
The President said he also planned to address the Knesset in Israel to mark the agreement, which could portend the end of a two-year conflict that has devastated Gaza and inflamed tensions throughout the region. Trump expressed optimism that the ceasefire would hold and that the area could be rebuilt.
“I think it will hold. They’re all tired of the fighting,” Trump said.The agreement was secured after negotiations brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to hammer out the terms of a 20-point peace plan Trump had unveiled last week.
