This sound like a Trump victory lap to me:
“With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
It's not so much a deal in place as a small step toward a hoped-for deal. As for "NEVER again", the tunnels of Gaza are now and will for the foreseeable future be a safe haven for terrorists.
Trump takes credit for Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal
Responding to news that Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire and hostage release deal Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump said he should get credit.
“The EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies,” he wrote on Truth Social shortly after the deal was announced.

Gaza has been in hell since 1959(?) if memory serves.
