As Trump makes his way through the Knesset to give his address, it is clearly a friendly crowd, even among many in the Israeli opposition. In the audience, some are wearing red MAGA-style baseball caps, emblazoned with the words, “TRUMP THE PEACE PRESIDENT.”

People here in southern Tel Aviv are running onto their balconies or out into the streets, clapping and cheering as large military helicopters flew very low over the Jaffa neighborhood. The helicopters were believed to be carrying released hostages.

Reporting from Jerusalem
Trump is also not known for thanking allies and partners, but he expressed gratitude “for all of the nations of the Arab and Muslim world that came together to press Hamas.”

Reporting from Jerusalem
President Trump, who is not known for Biblical references, opens by saying that after the return of the last 20 living hostages today, we “give our deepest thanks to the almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” He adds that this is “not only the end of a war, this is the end of the age of terror and death.” Using a line that other presidents have reached for — and been disappointed — he says “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
