President Trump is on the move.
Trump Announces Urgent Trip to Egypt
President Donald J. Trump confirmed Thursday he will make an emergency diplomatic trip to Egypt to personally attend the signing of a historic ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas — a major step toward ending years of bloodshed in the Middle East.
“We’re working on the timing right now,” Trump said from the White House. “We’re going to Egypt for the signing. It’s going to be a big event — a very big event.”
According to officials, the President is expected to depart within days as final details are being ironed out between Israel, Egypt, and U.S. negotiators.
Trump Focused on Returning Israeli Hostages
President Trump confirmed that hostages held in Gaza will begin returning home early next week, calling the process “complex but moving fast.”
“We’re expecting it Monday or Tuesday,” he said. “We’re also bringing home the remains of around 28 hostages — some are hard to locate, but we’re doing everything we can.”
The President emphasized compassion and persistence in ensuring every hostage and every body is returned to their families, a message that deeply resonates with Americans who value faith, family, and patriotism.
Trump Condemns Hamas Terror and Supports Israel’s Right to Defend Itself
Trump again denounced the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack as “horrific and unforgivable.” He noted that Israel’s response has been strong, describing the campaign as “massive retribution.”
“From the Hamas standpoint, they’ve probably lost 70,000 people. That’s big retribution,” Trump said firmly.
For millions of Americans who support Israel’s right to defend itself, Trump’s unwavering stance reinforces his image as a leader who stands with America’s allies and against radical terrorism.
Egypt’s President Invites Trump to Witness “Historic Signing”
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi personally invited President Trump to attend the official peace signing ceremony in Cairo.
“It would be truly wonderful if you could attend this historic event,” Sisi said in a statement, praising Trump’s leadership and vision for regional stability.
The Egyptian government credited Trump with playing a “pivotal role” in ending the Gaza war and forging an agreement that other world leaders had failed to achieve.
Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan Gains Global Support
At the center of this diplomatic breakthrough is Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which both Israel and Hamas have now accepted with the backing of key Arab nations.
Trump’s top Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner met with Egyptian leaders this week in Sharm el-Sheikh, finalizing the first stage of the plan.
Egypt’s presidential office praised the deal as a “testament to strong American leadership” and reiterated its invitation for Trump to attend the signing in person.
Marco Rubio: “None of This Would Have Happened Without Trump”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio applauded President Trump’s determination, calling his efforts the turning point that made peace possible.
“None of this would have been possible without the President of the United States being personally involved,” Rubio said.
Rubio also revealed that Trump’s UN meetings with Arab and Muslim leaders last month “changed everything,” paving the way for a new era of cooperation and peace in the region.
After the UN meetings, Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, where the two leaders finalized the 20-point framework that would ultimately lead to the ceasefire.
Trump Thanks Allies for Standing Together
In closing, President Trump extended his gratitude to the leaders of Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Indonesia, crediting their cooperation in reaching the agreement.
“They’ve all played an important role in helping us get this done,” Trump said. “This is a win for peace — and a win for the entire world.”
