Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is due back in Washington in a few hours after hailing the ceasefire deal he brokered between Israel and Hamas. He spoke Monday to the Israeli parliament and NPR's Ayat Betraori reports he stood with foreign leaders in Egypt.
This was an important summit. It brought together leaders from Europe, the Mideast and beyond. And it signaled that what comes next for Gaza will require international attention, including resources and boots on the ground. These countries had been pressing for a ceasefire for a while, but ultimately it was Trump's intervention now. that brought Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree and got Egypt and Qatar, the two mediators, to convince Hamas that releasing the hostages had Trump's guarantee of a permanent end to the war.

Vernon Jones is a longtime political figure in the Atlanta area, serving as the elected CEO of one of the state's biggest counties and as a Democratic state lawmaker.

In his campaign launch ad, Jones touts some of the same things Trump wants changed with elections and voting.
What recent developments occurred in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations?
