U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that “the war in Gaza is over.” His statement follows a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, one that’s held for several days now and includes the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

The agreement also outlines plans for what Trump has called a “Board of Peace”-  a body meant to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and long-term stability.
