IBNS-CMEDIA: US President Donald Trump on Monday praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his address to the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, just hours after Hamas released the last 20 remaining hostages under a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
“Thank you very much, Bibi. Great job,” Trump said, calling the moment “the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
He hailed the ceasefire and hostage release as the end of a devastating two-year war and the beginning of a “golden age for Israel,” adding that peace in the region was now within reach.
“This is not only the end of a war,” Trump said to standing ovations from Israeli lawmakers. “Today, the skies are calm, the guns are silent, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace.”
The deal, which Trump claimed had “effectively ended the war,” was lauded by the US president as a “monumental victory for peace.”
