After the path for the Gaza agreement was cleared, U.S. President Donald Trump arrived at the Israeli Parliament. Netanyahu honored Trump with Israel's highest civilian award. Donald Trump then discussed aspects of the agreement in his speech. The U.S. President stated, "20 brave hostages are returning. Today, the guns are silent, the sirens are quiet. By God's will, this land and region will remain peaceful for eternity."

Trump further noted that this marks the beginning of harmony. It is the historical rise of a new Middle East. Dealing with Netanyahu is not easy, but that's what makes him great. It was a very unusual turning point in time. Reflecting on the recent ceasefire and stability in the Middle East, President Trump said, "The skies are quiet, the guns are silent, and there is peace on the holy land."

During Trump's speech, an individual expressed opposition through slogans. Following this, security personnel escorted the protester out of the house.

Donald Trump expressed gratitude to the Arab nations and Muslim leaders who came together to pressure Hamas to release hostages. He further stated, "This is a great victory for Israel and the world that all these countries are working together as partners for peace."

'A grave mistake...'

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "Our enemies now understand how powerful Israel is. Attacking Israel on October 7 was a grave mistake."

Praising the U.S. President, Netanyahu stood up amid thunderous applause in Parliament and stated, "I've never seen anyone advance the world so swiftly, decisively, and firmly like our friend Donald Trump." Along with this, Netanyahu expressed gratitude to President Trump for negotiating on behalf of Israeli families. He remarked that with Trump's election, everything changed overnight.
