Trump heralds 'dawn of new Middle East' in historic speech at Knesset

President Donald Trump addressed the Israeli parliament, declaring 'the dawn of a new Middle East' and celebrating a historic ceasefire agreement that ended two years of war in Gaza. The deal saw the release of all remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the freeing of over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, marking a significant step toward peace in the region. Trump received a standing ovation and was praised for his role in brokering the agreement, with Israeli leaders and citizens expressing deep gratitude.

The peace accord is set to be formalized at a summit in Egypt attended by world leaders, where discussions will focus on rebuilding Gaza and ensuring long-term stability. Despite widespread celebrations, questions remain about the durability of the ceasefire, as Hamas has refused to disarm and Israeli officials have warned that military operations could resume if terms are not met. Trump outlined plans for a 'Board of Peace' to govern Gaza and emphasized the importance of international cooperation in the region's recovery.

The emotional release of hostages sparked jubilant scenes in Tel Aviv, with thousands gathering to celebrate and thank Trump for his efforts. While the agreement has brought hope for a brighter future, the path ahead will require careful negotiation and ongoing commitment from all parties involved.
