President Trump declared before Israel’s parliament on Monday that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza marked “end of an age of terror and death” and heralded what he called “the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
The president was met with thunderous applause as he entered the Knesset chamber, just hours after the final group of living hostages had been freed from Hamas captivity under the terms of the landmark truce between Israel and the terror organization.
“This is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God,” he said, his words echoing through the hall as members of the Knesset rose to their feet in approval.
“It’s the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of what will soon be a truly magnificent region. I believe that so strongly, this is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”
