Peace Treaty?
A peace treaty has been signed between Israel and Palestine…
Sorry, let me start again.
A ceasefire agreement, labeled the “Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace Summit" in Egypt. Who signed? The United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. You're probably wondering, were those countries at war?
Well, the answer is no. They're not at war, but they have decided to make decisions on behalf of our baby-countries, Israel and Palestine, to stop attacking each other. Wait, sorry, it's more about Israel stopping the bullying of Palestinian people through excessive bombing since October 7th, 2023.

What's going to happen next? No one knows. Israel continues its heavy cleansing of the Strip, Palestinians continue to resist with nothing (they have lost literally everything), and the world? Well, for example, the US is waiting for the right timing to create another Vegas there.
