News|Donald TrumpFact-checking Donald Trump’s speech in Israeli parliamentTrump made several claims about the Middle East conflict and other global peace deals that were not entirely true.

On Mon, Oct 13, 2025, Israel and Hamas engaged in a prisoner exchange as part of a comprehensive Gaza agreement. This development is part of a broader ceasefire and peace initiative.

The agreement facilitated by the United States includes a ceasefire and the release of captives and detainees. Specifically, it involved the release of 20 Israeli captives, 250 Palestinian political prisoners, and approximately 1,700 Gaza detainees. The initiative is part of a 20-point plan aiming for lasting peace.

The plan envisions the development of a stabilization force in Gaza, with governance transitioning from Hamas to a Palestinian committee. The committee will comprise Palestinian and international experts under the oversight of the "Board of Peace," chaired by former U.S. President Donald Trump, with participation from international figures.

During the announcement, Trump praised key figures involved in the negotiation process and emphasized the significance of the agreement. He also addressed various geopolitical issues, highlighting the role of his administration in brokering ceasefires and addressing regional conflicts.

The initiative includes managing ongoing regional conflicts and ceasefires between various countries. Despite some progress, challenges remain in ensuring long-term peace and resolving disputes.

The U.S. had conducted military operations, such as Operation Midnight Hammer, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. The extent of the damage remains uncertain, with limited public information available.

The 2015 Iran nuclear deal was initially adhered to by Iran, with international monitoring in place. However, the U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018 and imposed economic sanctions, leading to a reduction in Iran’s compliance.

Under various U.S. administrations, military aid and support for Israel have continued. Significant agreements, such as a $38 billion military aid package, underline the ongoing strategic partnership.

The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, established diplomatic and cooperative relations between Israel and several Arab states. Efforts to expand the agreement to include additional countries have faced challenges due to recent conflicts.
