Trump Declares ‘Dawn of a New Middle East,’ End of Gaza War
President TRUMP delivered a speech to Israel’s Knesset, proclaiming the end of the Gaza conflict and the beginning of a new era for the Middle East. "This isn’t only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death," he declared. The remarks followed his 20-point peace plan, which outlined hostage releases and a roadmap for Gaza’s governance and economic revival.
Trump later traveled to Egypt for a summit with global leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz, to advance "phase two" of the plan—disarming Hamas and establishing interim governance. Negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue, with reconstruction and political guarantees remaining key sticking points.
