Trump and Macron have a handshake contest at peace summit with an arm-wrestle

SUMMARY

At a recent peace summit in Egypt, Presidents Trump and Macron continued their unusual tradition of intense handshakes, which has drawn public attention over the years. Their latest greeting included what resembled an "arm-wrestle," as they engaged in a firm handshake accompanied by lively conversation.

This meeting coincided with a significant moment in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as Trump announced that Hamas had released all Israeli captives, and Palestinians would be freed as part of a peace deal.

Trump's speech in the Knesset emphasized his push for peace, stating, "You've won. Now it’s time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East."

The current ceasefire is tentative, with ongoing concerns about Hamas disarmament.
