WATCH: Trump Speaks to Reporters While Departing for Middle East to Sign Historic Peace Deal
President Trump on Sunday departed the White House to travel to the Middle East after announcing the first phase of a 20-point peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
If successful, this will be the eighth war that the President has brought to an end.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said on Thursday that he would visit the Middle East and Egypt to “have an official signing” of the peace deal that he announced on Wednesday between Israel and Hamas.

Trump spoke to reporters very briefly before boarding Air Force One en route to Tel Aviv, Israel. He did not take any questions.
" This is going to be a very special time," he said before leaving the United States, noting that hundreds of thousands in Israel and Muslim countries are "cheering."
"It's an honor to be involved, and we're going to have an amazing time, and it's going to be something that's never, never happened before."

Trump: This is going to be a very special time, and, I guess, if you read your own papers and your own networks, everybody's very excited about this moment in time, so I'll see you on the plane. I think you're traveling with us, but this is a very special event. They had 500,000 people yesterday and today in Israel, and also the Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering. Everybody is cheering at one time. That's never happened before. Usually, if you have one cheering, the other isn’t— the other is the opposite.
This is the first time everybody is amazed and they're thrilled, and it's an honor to be involved, and we're going to have an amazing time, and it's going to be something that's never, never happened before, so I'll see you on the plane, and we're gonna have a good time.
Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, on Saturday, also spoke to reporters after delivering remarks in Tel Aviv, where he described the deal as "the moment of my life; a blessing in my life."
"I couldn't be more thrilled to work for the greatest President out there, Donald J. Trump," he said. "He brought them home," he continued in reference to Israeli and American hostages.
