Trump had earlier announced that indirect talks held in Egypt led to a major breakthrough. The first phase of the United States peace plan requires the release of all hostages held in Gaza and a withdrawal of Israeli forces to an agreed boundary.
Hamas has also confirmed its participation in the peace agreement. The deal marks the first direct progress toward ending months of conflict that have caused widespread destruction and humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Trump said he had already ended several wars since taking office earlier this year. He added that his administration’s success in securing peace should earn him recognition from the Nobel Committee.
The Nobel Committee is expected to announce this year’s Peace Prize winner on Friday. Observers say Trump’s role in the ceasefire has positioned him as a central figure in Middle East diplomacy after years of strained negotiations.
