This conversation meant a lot to me. On @thediaryoface, I opened up with @StevenBartlett about some of life’s more defining moments: loss, growth, and the perspective that comes from navigating both. We talked about creativity, love, boundaries, building, parenting and what matters most in this next chapter. Grateful to share it. youtu.be/7VxeyTfhBM8?si=solM…

This week, Ukraine and Russia carried out another prisoner exchange, with 1000 individuals returned following agreements reached during the recent trilateral negotiations in Geneva with the United States. This exchange was achieved thanks to sustained and detailed peace discussions at the direction of President Donald J. Trump. Under the President’s leadership, we continue to achieve meaningful outcomes while working towards formulating a peace deal that will end the war once and for all. Discussions remain ongoing, with additional progress anticipated in the weeks ahead. We thank the Swiss government for hosting these discussions and President Donald J. Trump for his leadership in advancing diplomacy toward a resolution.

I say this again … Abraham Accords were the best thing the UAE 🇦🇪 did for humanity.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner, who was key to brokering the Gaza peace plan, unveils a 'master plan' for the future of Gaza at Davos. Donald Trump's son-in-law presents a map and graphics to the audience, and delves into how the US will conduct this operation trib.al/SahX4jN

WATCH: @jaredkushner details the progress being made in Gaza under President Trump's peace plan

Today, as my first official act, I adopted and signed the NCAG Mission Statement, affirming our governing mandate and operating principles: Authorized by the UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and President Donald J. Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza is dedicated to transforming the transitional period in Gaza into a foundation for lasting Palestinian prosperity. Under the guidance of the Board of Peace, chaired by President Donald J. Trump, and with the support and assistance of the High Representative for Gaza, our mission is to rebuild the Gaza Strip not just in infrastructure but also in spirit. We are committed to establishing security, restoring the essential services that form the bedrock of human dignity such as electricity, water, healthcare, and education, as well as cultivating a society rooted in peace, democracy, and justice. Operating with the highest standards of integrity and transparency, the NCAG will forge a productive economy capable of replacing unemployment with opportunity for all. We embrace peace, through which we strive to secure the path to true Palestinian rights and self determination.

The start of meetings of Gaza’s technocratic government in Cairo marks the opening of a new chapter in the lives of two million Palestinians, exhausted by an unprecedented war and years of devastation. This may well be the most important government in Gaza’s history—not only because of the immense challenges it faces, but because it is unlike anything the Palestinian political system has ever known. It is a government entrusted with managing the largest budget in Palestinian history, overseeing the most extensive reconstruction effort Gaza—and arguably the modern Middle East—has ever seen. More than that, it is a government operating under conditions that have never existed before: broad international backing, unprecedented political attention, and a level of popular support rooted not in ideology or factional loyalty, but in sheer public exhaustion and a deep desire for normal life, dignity, and stability. This government is not judged by slogans or rhetoric. It will be judged by its ability to restore basic services, rebuild homes and infrastructure, reopen schools and hospitals, revive the economy, and reintroduce the idea that governance can serve people rather than dominate them. What begins in Cairo is more than a series of meetings. It is the first test of whether Gaza can move from survival to recovery, from despair to responsibility, and from endless crisis management to a future shaped by competence, accountability, and hope.

Everytime I get mad at people in the cheap seats criticizing founders in the arena, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.
