Trump's peace deal speech to Israeli parliament halted by protesters

President Donald Trump's speech to the Israeli parliament was interrupted by protesting lawmakers on Monday, shortly after the release of hostages in Gaza as part of a landmark peace agreement. Arab Knesset members Ayman Odeh and Ofer Cassif held up a sign reading 'genocide' and were quickly escorted out, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to apologize for the disruption. Trump continued his remarks, calling the day a 'whole new beginning' and receiving several standing ovations from lawmakers. The visit marked the celebration of a ceasefire and hostage deal brokered by the United States, with Trump planning to attend a summit in Egypt to further efforts toward lasting peace in the region.
