Milei will nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize following the historic agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Peace in the Middle East, a dream so often postponed, could be closer to becoming a reality. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that Israel and Hamas have reached the "first phase" of an agreement aimed at ending the fighting in the Gaza Strip. The understanding provides for the release of the hostages held by the terrorist group and the withdrawal of Israeli troops to an agreed line, marking the first step toward a "strong, lasting, and permanent" peace.

"I am proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of our peace plan. This means that all hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw its troops to an agreed line as the first step toward a solid, lasting, and permanent peace," Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social, in a message that resonated around the world.

"All parties will receive fair treatment. This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all neighboring nations, and the United States. We thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye, who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event a reality. Blessed are the peacemakers!" he added.

The agreement was reached after three intense days of negotiations involving senior officials from the United States, Israel, and the mediating countries. Although the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners is the core of this first phase, the talks will continue to address the more complex aspects: the disarmament of Hamas, the timetable for Israeli withdrawal, and the future administration of the Gaza enclave by an international body.

The significance of the announcement was reflected even in the White House, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio interrupted an event with conservative influencers to inform the president about the latest developments. In images that quickly went viral, the official is seen handing over a note with the message: "You need to approve a post on Truth Social soon so you can announce the agreement first." Minutes later, Trump would publicly confirm the progress of the peace process and would anticipate that he could travel to the region "toward the end of the week."

Meanwhile, from Argentina, President Javier Milei celebrated the news with a message full of recognition for his North American counterpart. "Congratulations to President Donald Trump for having reached a historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, who today, one day before the second anniversary of the tragic October 7 attack, signed Phase One of the Gaza withdrawal plan and the release of the hostages still in captivity," Milei stated on the X network.

In the same post, the Argentine president announced that he will officially nominate Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, highlighting that "any other leader with such achievements would have received it a long time ago." Milei emphasized that the Republican former president "has demonstrated with actions that peace is not achieved with empty speeches, but with leadership, determination, and courage."
