Addressing the Israeli Parliament, US President Donald Trump described the Gaza Peace Agreement as a historic rise for the Middle East. Praising Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that this is the historic dawn of a new Middle East. He said, “Dealing with Netanyahu is not easy. That’s what makes him great. That’s what makes him good. You did a great job.”

Scary nightmare is over: Trump

Trump said, “Generations from now on will remember this as the moment when everything began to change and very much changed for the better. This is not just the end of a war, but this is the beginning of a great harmony and lasting harmony for Israel and all of its nations, which will soon become a truly wonderful land.”

Donald Trump told Israeli lawmakers, “It feels great to say that the hostages are back. This is a very historic time for Israel and the Middle East. Now the nightmare is over not only for Israel but also for Palestinians and many others.” He said that the Gaza agreement is timely, because Israel’s military operations are becoming worse and more aggressive.

‘Israel became powerful with American weapons’

He said, “America has provided a lot of weapons to Israel. You used them well. We provided so many weapons that Israel became strong and powerful, which ultimately led to peace. This became the reason for peace.”

Donald Trump praised Minister Marco Rubio and said that he will be remembered as the greatest Secretary of State in history. He also praised Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and called him a young leader.

US President Trump said that it would be great to make a peace agreement with Iran also. “I think they (Iran) want to do this, I think they’re tired… they want to survive. Ultimately they want to start digging holes again in those mountains that were just blown up,” Trump said in the Israeli Parliament.

There is no longer any threat to Israel’s security: Trump

US President Trump made it clear that there is no longer any threat to Israel’s security. He said, “Under the Gaza peace agreement, armed forces will be immediately withdrawn from the area. All Hamas weapons will be taken and there will be no threat to Israel’s security in any way.”

He said, “Now is the time to turn these battlefield victories against terrorists into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East. There can be no better option than this for the Palestinians. This is their chance to turn forever from the path of terror and violence.”

Trump thanked Muslim countries

US President Trump thanked the countries committed to helping in the reconstruction of Gaza. He said, “I want to thank the Arab and Muslim countries for their commitment to the safe reconstruction of Gaza. Also, many Arab countries, very wealthy countries, have also come forward and said that we will invest huge amounts of money to rebuild Gaza. I think that will happen.”

‘America will not forget the attack on Israel’

Donald Trump, speaking in the Israeli Parliament, described the Gaza ceasefire as the eighth war, which he claimed to have resolved. He reiterated his previous claims of ending many long-running wars. Recalling the horror of October 7, 2023, he said that America will never forget the attack on Israel. He swore that this would never happen again.

Israel will honor US President Donald Trump with the Presidential Medal of Honor, the highest civilian award, for the Gaza peace agreement. Meanwhile, Trump and Netanyahu met the hostages and their families released from Hamas captivity in the Israeli Parliament. In the Israeli Parliament, all the MPs stood up and clapped and welcomed Trump warmly. Israeli Parliament Speaker Amir Ohana described Trump as a giant of Jewish history.

‘Trump’s name will be recorded in Israel’s legacy’

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, while addressing his MPs, praised Trump profusely. Referring to the US President in his speech, he said, “Today is a day full of emotions. Your (Trump) name is recorded in the heritage of our nation. It has already been recorded in the history of humanity. We have waited for this moment for a long time and I want to personally thank you on behalf of the entire nation.”

Trump-Trump slogans echoed in Israeli Parliament

Netanyahu said that Donald Trump is Israel’s best friend ever in the White House, after which anti-Trump slogans started being raised in the House. He said that till now no American President has done so much for Israel.” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has nominated US President Trump for his country’s highest award.

We paid a heavy price for the war: Netanyahu

Netanyahu said, “We have paid a heavy price for this war, but our enemies now understand how powerful and how determined Israel is. They (Hamas) promised to bring all the hostages back home and have done so. I am committed to peace.”

Referring to Trump, Netanyahu said, “Two months ago you fully supported my decision to send the IDF to Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza City. You agreed with my view that this military pressure would help free the hostages. We know that despite all the criticism and opposition, we were right.”
