President Donald Trump called for “the historic dawn of a new Middle East” in an address to the Israeli parliament, as he visits the region to celebrate a deal halting the war in Gaza and securing the release of prisoners held by Hamas.

“This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,” Trump said Monday in remarks from the Knesset.

Trump used the address to call on Israel to “translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East” while pushing Gazans to focus on “restoring the fundamentals of stability, safety, dignity, and economic development, so they can finally have the better life their children really do deserve.”
