Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman reacted to US President Donald Trump's action that led to Israeli hostages being returned to their families by Hamas.

Donald Trump and other world leaders gathered in Sharm el-Sheikh for a global summit in Egypt. They signed a peace deal on Monday.

Edelman reacted to the reunion of Matan Zangauker, a Hamas hostage for 738 days, with his mother after the deal was signed. He is one of the 20 reported hostages being released by Gaza.

Following the release of all the remaining living hostages, Trump said he is "talking about" rebuilding Gaza.

"We're talking about rebuilding Gaza," Trump said. "I'm not talking about single state or double state or two-state. We're talking about the rebuilding of Gaza."

According to reports, Israel also released 250 Palestinian prisoners and 1700 detainees.

Julian Edelman praised Patriots coach Mike Vrabel after third consecutive win against Saints

The Patriots made it three consecutive wins after a gritty 25-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Julian Edelman, who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, hailed the team's mentality along with coach Mike Vrabel.

"Really good win for the Pats. Easy to let down after an emotional win like that in Buffalo. Vrabel preaches mental toughness and consistency and it showed today."

While the win against the Orleans lifted the Patriots to a 4-2 record this season, Vrabel reflected on the controversial calls from Sunday's game.

“I got a tough enough job to coach this football team,” Vrabel said. “There’s not much. It becomes comical, at a point. And then I’ll see something in the game, I’m like, 'Did they even watch the video?'"

Vrabel's statement was seemingly referring to two pass interference penalties against his team from the Saints game.

Although having started out professionally as a cricket writer in 2022, Chaitanya's curiosity and indiscriminate interest in all sports in general eventually introduced him to America's favorite pastime.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
