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.
