Trump hinted at a breakthrough. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel followed rising pressure for Gaza ceasefire. The conflict lasted 12 days. Hours earlier, Trump suggested a deal was near. Soon after, both countries confirmed a ceasefire.
He called the development “progress” and turned focus to Gaza. He said peace there was “very close.” His envoy delivered updates from the region. Diplomacy picked up pace.
Fighting in Gaza continued. Israeli strikes killed hundreds since the Iran conflict began. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported more than a lakh of deaths since 2023. Many died near aid centers. UN agencies condemned the attacks. Aid groups said food was being weaponized.
Despite the Iran-Israel pause, Gaza saw no relief. Civilian casualties kept rising. Witnesses described chaos during food distributions. Dozens died while waiting for supplies.

Food shortages worsened. Aid centers came under fire. Witnesses reported deadly chaos. Health agencies called the situation catastrophic. The UN condemned the obstruction of humanitarian aid.
Families demanded the return of hostages. Civil groups urged leaders to act. They called for the ceasefire to cover all war zones, not just bilateral fronts.
Voices within government questioned ongoing operations. Lawmakers cited growing troop losses. Critics urged a full strategic reassessment. Protests echoed across cities.
The ceasefire triggered new calls for wider peace. Families of hostages demanded urgent action. Mediators resumed stalled Gaza negotiations. Qatar confirmed renewed efforts. Talks with Egypt also intensified.
Inside Israel, political voices called for an end to the Gaza phase. Some lawmakers questioned the war’s cost. Military casualties mounted. A major incident killed seven soldiers in southern Gaza.
Trump claimed credit for recent diplomatic breakthroughs. He said his efforts helped stop a war between India and Pakistan. He also suggested he played a key role in halting the Iran-Israel conflict. Now, he says Gaza is “very close” to peace. His posts on Truth Social appeared just hours before the Iran-Israel ceasefire became official. He hinted that more “very good news” was on the way.
Observers noted the timing. His active involvement in global conflict zones drew wide attention. Some linked his efforts to a bigger ambition and possibly the Nobel Peace Prize. Others saw a bid to reframe himself as a global peace broker, or even a kind of “big brother” in world diplomacy. As Gaza remains unresolved, the next moves may shape his legacy.
