Trump receives standing ovation in Israel's parliament

SUMMARY

President Donald Trump addressed the Israeli parliament, claiming a "dawn of a new Middle East" after facilitating a historic peace deal that led to the release of 20 Israeli hostages from Hamas. He emphasized the need for peace, stating, "'You've won. Now it's time to translate these victories... into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.'"

In exchange for the hostages, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners were also released. The speech, marked by a standing ovation, highlighted Trump's emerging role as a global peacemaker. There are ongoing concerns about the ceasefire's sustainability, with Hamas rejecting disarmament.

A peace summit is planned in Egypt to discuss rebuilding Gaza and ensuring regional stability.
