President Donald Trump confirmed that he will deliver an address to Israel’s Knesset after accepting a formal invitation from Speaker Amir Ochana.
“Thank you for your historic invitation to address the nation of Israel before your esteemed legislative body. I am honored to accept,” Trump wrote to Ochana.
In his letter, Trump reflected on his administration’s achievements in advancing peace in the Middle East, pointing in particular to the Abraham Accords. “In my first term, we brokered a momentous diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East—the Abraham Accords—which laid the foundation of stability in a region marked by centuries of conflict. We have built upon that incredible achievement since I returned to the White House earlier this year, and are proving that nations across the globe can move beyond longstanding challenges of the past,” he wrote.
Trump also highlighted recent milestones, referencing the two-year anniversary of the October 7, 2023 terror attacks. “This week, we marked two years since the abhorrent attack of October 7, 2023. We have worked tirelessly since that horrific day to return all hostages to their homes, defend the sovereignty of Israel, and end the violence that has tragically plagued one of the most cherished areas of the world for far too long. Now, we stand on the doorstep of one of the greatest diplomatic achievements in history—and we cannot rest until peace is fully realized and sustained. Together, we will forge a future of security, prosperity, and peace in Israel, the region, and beyond and blessed are the peacemakers!”
The letter concluded with Trump expressing gratitude and anticipation for his upcoming visit. “Thank you, again, for your invitation. I look forward to seeing you soon,” he wrote.
