In a dramatic diplomatic climax, U.S. President Donald Trump visited the Knesset on Monday, a trip marking a supposed “new beginning” for the Middle East.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!As Hamas released 20 Israeli hostages under the new Gaza ceasefire, the President signed the Knesset guestbook with a thick Sharpie, writing: “This is my great honor — a great and beautiful day, a new beginning.”
Flanked by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump made an unreserved declaration: upon landing and again before his address, he told reporters the Israel-Hamas war was “officially over.”
Key Details of the Peace Deal:
- Hostage Exchange: 20 living Israeli hostages, held since the October 2023 attacks, were released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners.
- The Fallen: The remains of some of the 28 hostages believed to be dead were also expected to be released.
- Diplomatic Next Step: Later that day, President Trump was scheduled to head the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, with over 20 world leaders to finalize the peace deal and plan for post-war reconstruction.
Trump is the fourth U.S. President to ever address the Knesset, following Jimmy Carter (1979), Bill Clinton (1994), and George W. Bush (2008).
