On October 13, US President Donald Trump delivered an address to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. The event followed a ceasefire agreement that concluded a two-year conflict involving Hamas. During his speech, President Trump declared that Israel had “won” on the battlefield and advocated for securing “peace,” emphasizing the translation of what he termed “victories against terrorists” into regional stability and prosperity. Some Israeli lawmakers were observed wearing hats emblazoned with the slogan “Trump: The Peace President”, and members of parliament demonstrated support through standing ovations and chants. A significant announcement made by President Trump was that Hamas had transferred all living hostages to Israel, alongside his declaration that the Gaza conflict had concluded.
