Trump and Bibi Working on a Super Duper 8 Party Deal
2025-06-27
[IsraelTimes] After the US strike on Iran earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed on a rapid end to the war in Gaza and expansion of the Abraham Accords, Israel Hayom reports, citing "a source familiar with the conversation."

According to the outlet, Trump and Netanyahu agreed in a phone call that the war in Gaza would end within two weeks. Four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would jointly govern the Gaza Strip in place of Hamas. The terror group’s leadership would be exiled, and all hostages would be released.
-----------
by my count the parties in the deal would include Israel, US, Egypt, UAE, Saudi A, Syria, Hamas and PA - I probably have left some others out
Egypt adamantly rejected taking back Gaza after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, though it happily accepted most of the Sinai Peninsula, and has rejected taking it on ever since. The Palestinian Authority has been demanding to be given charge of Gaza since it became clear Hamas was losing, but there is no chance they could control it on their own. HTS is still working to consolidate control of Syria… An interesting little problem.
