Donald Trump urged Israel to shift focus from waging war against Hamas to what he called the ultimate prize of “peace and prosperity” in the Middle East region as he became just the fifth American president on Monday to address the Knesset.
In remarks to the Israeli parliament that were equal parts triumphant and rambling, he said the implementation of a ceasefire agreement and the return of the remaining living hostages marked the “historic dawn of a new Middle East” and an “incredible triumph for Israel and the world.”
