Hamas’s endorsement of Donald Trump’s Gaza plan is capturing global attention, with many officials calling it a watershed moment. Observers suggest this could be a pivotal juncture in the region’s two-year conflict, as leaders deliberate possible new avenues for truce and reconciliation.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are expected to brief a global gathering of military commanders in Quantico. With the country on the brink of a government shutdown, Trump is also pitching a plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza and freeing hostages held by Hamas.
