From the Daily Wire:
Israel and the terror group Hamas have officially entered into a ceasefire after the two sides reached agreement on the initial stage of a plan to end the war in Gaza.
The agreement was presented to the Israeli government on Thursday. The security cabinet voted Thursday to approve the deal that was reached after days of negotiation in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the adoption of the agreement after the security council vote.
 
Prime Minister Netanyahu made the announcement flanked by U.S. Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law. You can view the video of this announcement below.

The ceasefire comes shortly after the second anniversary of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The Daily Wire notes that, as part of this deal, Hamas will release the 20 remaining living hostages, Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, and the IDF will “pull back from the heart of Gaza.”
President Trump is expected to travel to the Middle East and address the Knesset over the weekend, something that the Daily Wire notes is a rare honor for a U.S. President. Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana formally invited President Trump, referring to him as “The Peace President.”
The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:9 that “blessed are the peacemakers,” a fact that President Trump clearly recognizes. Let’s thank God for this peace deal, and for putting a peacemaker in the White House!

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the peace agreement between Hamas and Israel. May this ceasefire bring lasting reconciliation, protection, and healing to all affected. In times of conflict, President Trump played a pivotal role in brokering the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, facilitating hostage releases, and opening the door for humanitarian aid. He stepped forward to build bridges and bring diverse parties to the table. His efforts remind us that peacemaking requires both strategy and heart: the strategy to negotiate effectively, and the heart to value human life and dignity. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9. Father, Guide the leaders and all involved to act with wisdom, compassion, and integrity. Fill the hearts of people with hope, forgiveness, and unity. Let Your peace flow through the land and into every life touched by this conflict. Amen

Blessed be the Lordmy rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers forbl battle
My loving-kindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. Lord, what is man, that You are mindful of him???
Or the son of man , that You take knowledge of him???
Man is like a breath: His days are like a passing shadow.
Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke, Flash forth lightnings and scatter them, Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them. Stretch out Your hand from above; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, From the hand of foreigners, Whose mouth speaks lying words, And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Jesus knows!! May Jesus’s will be done!! May PEACE be in Israel permanently!! Amen
They say the Palestinians will be granted amnesty if they lay down their arms. I am afraid they won’t. Then what?
I thank you Lord for the first phase of releasing all the Isreali hostages. May they come to the realization to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the hearts of all the Jewish be receptive. In Jesus’ name.
Thank you, Father, for this peace deal. I do pray for protection of Israel against the breaking of this peace deal. Give wisdom to Trump and Netanyahu as they lead their countries. Open Jewish eyes to see you as the Messiah. Praise your name.
I am glad to hear of this peace deal but I know that the Bible says when men says peace then comes sudden destruction. but I hope that this will be.
