President Donald Trump visited Israel and Egypt on Oct. 13 to mark the first phase of a cease-fire deal that saw the Hamas terrorist group release living hostages in exchange for Israel’s release of Palestinian detainees.
The cease-fire deal could bring about the end of more than two years of fighting, which began after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. About 1,200 people were killed in that attack, and Hamas fighters took 251 more to the Gaza Strip as hostages.
