3:23Now PlayingBloomberg Reporter Galit Altstein discusses Hamas's release of Israeli hostages as well as the overall outcome of a US-led peace deal in the region.
President Donald Trump called for “the historic dawn of a new Middle East” in an address to the Israeli parliament, as he visits the region to celebrate a deal halting the war in Gaza and securing the release of prisoners held by Hamas.
“This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,” Trump said Monday in remarks from the Knesset.
Trump used the address to call on Israel to “translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East” while pushing Gazans to focus on “restoring the fundamentals of stability, safety, dignity, and economic development, so they can finally have the better life their children really do deserve.”
The president arrived early Monday in Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as the families of hostages captured in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. After the Israel stop, Trump is slated to travel to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, where he is expected to meet with leaders from across the world to celebrate the deal that could bring an end to a devastating two-year war that destroyed much of Gaza and inflamed tensions across the region.
Trump has painted the agreement as a historic accomplishment that will usher in a new era of stability and prosperity, but the pact is certain to be tested in the coming days and weeks as both sides regroup and anger over the devastation from the conflict lingers. Some of the divisions even within Israel were apparent during Trump’s address, as two left-wing MPs were expelled over protests in the chamber.
Trump devoted a significant portion of his speech to urging cooperation between historic rivals.
“All across the Middle East, the forces of chaos, terror and ruin that have plagued the region for decades now stand weakened, isolated and totally defeated,” Trump said. “A new coalition of proud and responsible nations is emerging.”
