Trump lauds 'epic' ceasefire in the Gaza Strip

President-elect Donald Trump has lauded the "epic" ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, saying it would not have happened without his return to the White House. 

In a social media post that beats the Biden administration, Israel and Arab mediators in announcing the deal, Trump said, "we have achieved so much without even being in the White House", taking credit for the ceasefire. 

He vowed to expand the Abraham Accords and prevent the Gaza Strip from becoming a "terrorist safe haven".
