With All 20 Living Hostages Back Home, President Trump Addresses the Israeli Parliament Prior to Egypt Peace Summit

Hamas made good on its part in Phase One of the ceasefire/peace pact with Israel by releasing all 20 living hostages, who were reunited with their families and loved ones in Israel — but still must receive medical evaluation and help.

As for the bodies of the deceased hostages, only 4 of the 28 have so far been sent back to Israel.

With that backdrop, President Trump addressed the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, where he spoke for more than an hour.

“Israel, with our help, has won all that they can by force of arms. You’ve won. I mean, you’ve won. Now it’s time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East,” Trump told the parliament.

Trump also called for a pardon for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces a corruption trial on Wednesday.

After the speech, Trump was headed to Egypt for what will be a mostly ceremonial peace summit, as it will take days, weeks, and months probably to iron one Phase Two of Trump’s peace plan — the disarmament and political dismantling of Hamas and the institution of a new Gaza administrative state.

Neither Israel or Hamas will be sending representatives to the summit.
