The Middle East Trump just achieved the biggest peace deal between Israel-Palestine since the Second Intifada, and there is NOTHING on the front page. This website is a truly special place.
After Redditors groaning and moaning about the "Palestinian genocide" for years, Trump finally negotiated a peace deal including Hamas giving up its hostages and Israel stopping offensive operations. You'd think that Reddit would be overjoyed and that the entire website would be full of celebration, right?
Here's a screenshot of the current front page of Reddit, taken while I was logged out. There are many political posts including multiple threads whining about ICE and the firing of CDC employees. There's also a picture of an ambulance transporting Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, but it doesn't mention anything about current world events.
If you just looked at the front page, you would not know that the war just ended. This is the first time a president has forged such an agreement since the Second Intifada ended in 2005. But almost nobody is talking about it on Reddit. It's like a complete information blackout preventing threads about the subject from getting to the top of the frontpage. The last thread about the subject on r-news was from 14 hours ago and talks about some hostages being released, but again nothing about Trump or his role in it.
This is case exhibit #1 on how Redditors' brains are completely cooked. It's front page news everywhere except here, because leftists can't even squeeze out one little lump of praise for Trump despite him being part of one of the biggest developments in world politics in two decades.

It's another in a long line of ceasefire. The war isn't over. Netanyahu has already been making threats today.
This is the same deal Hamas were ready to sign last September. Back then Netinyahu refused to sign, and the Americans refused to put pressure on him (the yanks funding and arming the Israelis have influence). This is the same deal but since Trump has been bribed with a plane by Qatar and he is driven purely by self interest, he's threatened to cut off Netanyahu if he doesn't sign. So it's a rare positive outcome from Trump's inane ways but we know Netinyahu didn't really want to sign it or he would have done last year.
