Overview

• Democratic strategist James Carville said Trump "deserves some credit" for a ceasefire that returned surviving hostages and paused major fighting.
• On their Politics War Room podcast, co-host Al Hunt said the president is "deservedly" celebrating and argued he achieved what Joe Biden should have done.
• Hillary Clinton commended Trump, his team and regional leaders for committing to a 20-point framework she said outlines a path for the day after.
• The first phase included the release of all living hostages, a partial Israeli pullback to a negotiated line, prisoner releases and expanded aid access, with Israel pressing for full accounting of remains before further steps.
• Trump said Hamas must disarm under the plan or "we will disarm them," and the proposal envisions governance in Gaza by a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee rather than Hamas.
