A note that Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote to President Donald Trump is offering some insight into how things work in the White House, particularly when it comes to the president’s social media presence.

On Wednesday, Oct. 8, Trump, 79, was holding a meeting with conservative influencers and the press when Rubio signaled for his attention. Per the Associated Press, Rubio had a private update for the president.

He handed over a note to Trump concerning the need for him to “approve” a social media post, which suggests that Trump had not written the post himself.

A photo captured by the AP zoomed in on the message, revealing what it read: “You need to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.”

The note was in reference to a peace deal that Trump has been helping broker between Israel and Hamas. CNN reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and leaders of Hamas — the group that governs Gaza, which the U.S. State Department designated as a terrorist group — had reached a tentative agreement regarding a first step to end a years-long war.

During the meeting, Trump was quick to inform his audience that he had good news.

“I was just given a note by the secretary of state saying that we’re very close to a deal on the Middle East, and they’re gonna need me pretty quickly,” Trump said, per the AP. “So we’ll take a couple of more questions.”

The outlet noted that the meeting continued for another 10 minutes or so before Trump said that he was going to “try and solve some problems in the Middle East.”

Continuing, he said, “Although I’m very well represented by our secretary of state. He could probably do an even better job than me, but who knows.”

“We don’t want to take any chances. So we’re going to go and do that,” Trump told the assembled group.

Trump’s team shared the announcement on Truth Social at 6:51 p.m. local time. The AP reported that the message was posted about two hours after he ended the meeting.

“I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,” the post said.

Trump’s statement continued: “All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”

The deal, which needs to be approved by Israel’s security cabinet before it is official, is focused on the release of hostages that Hamas took during an Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, CNN reported. In exchange, Israel would release Palestinian prisoners.

Trump has been assisting with brokering the deal between the parties and has taken a harsh stance against Hamas.

“Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East! They have killed (and made lives unbearably miserable), culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, babies, woman, children, old people, and many young men and women, boys and girls, getting ready to celebrate their future lives together,” he wrote on Truth Social.

Threatening bloodshed, he said that the group had been “given one last chance.”

“Great, powerful, and very rich Nations of the Middle East, and the surrounding areas beyond, together with the United States of America, have agreed, with Israel signing on, to PEACE, after 3000 years, in the Middle East. THIS DEAL ALSO SPARES THE LIVES OF ALL REMAINING HAMAS FIGHTERS!” he continued, giving the group a deadline to make the decision.

He concluded, writing, “If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
