Overview

• Time unveiled a cover featuring President Trump with the headline “His Triumph,” spotlighting his role in the Gaza ceasefire deal.
• Trump signed the first phase of the agreement at a ceremony in Sharm el-Sheikh attended by leaders including Keir Starmer, Giorgia Meloni and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
• The initial phase returned the last 20 living Israeli hostages, with Israel freeing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees; only four of 28 hostages’ bodies have been returned so far.
• Time’s analysis says the deal could become a signature achievement of Trump’s second term and a strategic turning point for the Middle East if it holds.
• After the issue was revealed, Trump criticized the cover photo on Truth Social as the “Worst of All Time,” even as he received standing applause during an address to Israel’s Knesset.
