President Donald Trump says "the whole world came together" to make Wednesday's Israel-Hamas peace agreement happen, and leaders across the globe are hailing the event.
"So many countries that you wouldn’t have thought of have come together," Trump said on "Hannity." "It’s been so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for the Arab countries — and so great for the United States of America. This is more than Gaza — this is peace in the Middle East."
Israeli President Isaac Herzog chimed in on X, offering an emphatic endorsement of the deal while thanking Trump, adding that "should he visit us in the coming days, he will be received with immense respect, affection, and gratitude by the people of Israel."
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres welcomed the breakthrough and urged swift follow-through.
"I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza. The United Nations will support full implementation and recovery efforts. This momentous opportunity must not be lost," Guterres said.
Family members of hostages being held by Hamas celebrated the acceptance of the peace plan pushed by President Donald Trump by calling him on the phone to thank him for his efforts, which include the release of the remaining 48 hostages.
A group of family members were with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Wednesday night when they got the president on the phone for a quick conversation, a video from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum (HMFF) showed.
Upon answering the call, Trump was immediately met with positive remarks and cheers from the group.
Multiple people yelled, "Thank you!" while one person said, "You did it!" and another said, "This is amazing."
One man could be heard thanking the president for everything he has done for Israel and its people over the past few years.
"Mr. President, we believe in you. We know you've done so much for us … Since you became the president. Even before that. And we trust you fulfilled the mission until every hostage, every 48 of the hostages, are home," the man said. "Thank you so much. Blessed be the peacemakers."
