On October 8, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a historic Phase One peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, marking a significant step toward ending the Gaza conflict nearly two years after the October 7, 2023, attacks.
The deal, brokered with mediation from Egypt, Qatar, and
other regional powers, includes the release of approximately 20 living Israeli
hostages (out of 48 total, some possibly deceased) by Hamas in exchange for
Israel's partial withdrawal of forces from Gaza, the release of 1,700 Palestinian
prisoners, and increased humanitarian aid access.
This initial phase is part of a broader 20-point
U.S.-proposed plan, though full implementation, such as Hamas disarmament or
non-interference in Gaza's governance, remains pending. Celebrations erupted in
Gaza, with crowds waving Palestinian flags, and in Israel, where hostage
families expressed relief.
The announcement has triggered widespread global acclaim,
positioning Trump as the "Peace
President" and fueling speculation about his prospects for the Nobel
Peace Prize, with winners set to be revealed on October 10, 2025.
World leaders and commentators have poured in
congratulations, emphasizing Trump's diplomatic leverage, including prior U.S.
pressure on Qatar via targeted strikes to secure Netanyahu's agreement.
Critic’s note that Hamas was militarily weakened, but
supporters credit Trump's direct involvement and "America First"
approach for the breakthrough, contrasting it with the Biden-Harris
administration's perceived inaction.
Key Global Reactions
and Congratulations:
Javier Milei
(President of Argentina): In a viral post, Milei hailed the deal as
"historic" and announced he would personally nominate Trump for the
Nobel Peace Prize, stating, "Any other leader with such achievements
would’ve won it long ago." His endorsement has amplified calls across
Latin America and conservative circles.
India and
Pakistan: Both nations issued rare joint praise; Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi congratulated Trump and Israel, while Pakistan's foreign ministry
echoed support for the "first phase agreement," highlighting
potential for regional stability.
Europe: UK
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian
Prime Minister Georgia Meloni extended formal thanks, with Meloni tweeting
about a "glorious day" for peace. Canadian users and officials also

Trump.
U.S. Domestic
Response: The White House labeled Trump "THE PEACE PRESIDENT" in
an official post with over 123,000 likes. Supporters like Piers Morgan credited
him for delivering on campaign promises amid accusations from detractors.
Polls and social sentiment show strong backing for a
Nobel nomination, with users like MAGA Voice polling agreement that "Trump
deserves the Nobel Peace Prize" (over 33,000 yes votes).
Media coverage is exploding on social platforms, with #TrumpNobel and #PeacePresident trending. Conservative outlets like Fox &
Friends are pushing for recognition, while some liberals downplay it as a
"timeout" rather than a negotiation.
Analysts speculate the timing days before Nobel
announcements could pressure the committee, with Trump potentially criticizing
them publicly if overlooked.
Title and Overview:
The video frames Trump as a transformative "Peace President" for scripting the deal amid U.S. domestic
challenges like a government shutdown threat. It highlights immediate global
media frenzy and leader endorsements, questioning if this cements his legacy
before the Nobel decisions.
Key Excerpts:
In the Announcement, Trump stated, "I am very proud
to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of
our peace plan, so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for the Arab
countries, and so great for this country."
On
Congratulations: "Trump has started receiving congratulations from all
over the world. Messages start coming from Qatar. Similarly, the Ministry of
Qatar and the Prime Minister of India have also congratulated Trump and Israel.
Congratulations from Pakistan from the British PM, from the French President,
from Georgia Meloni."
On Nobel
Speculation: "The coincidence is that the Nobel Peace Prizes will be
announced tomorrow itself; if Trump does not get the Nobel Peace Prize, then
Trump can lash out fiercely.
Therefore, now complete pressure has been built on the
Nobel Peace Prize that it should be given to Trump."
Analysis
Highlights: Avasthi credits Trump for pressuring Qatar (via a pre-deal
shelling incident) and Netanyahu, enabling Gaza reconstruction funded by Arab
states under U.S. oversight to sideline Hamas.
He compares Trump's composed delivery to George W. Bush's
9/11 response and promotes economic tie-ins, like investment apps for viewers.
This story is evolving rapidly; further developments may emerge post-Nobel reveal tomorrow.
