US president Donald Trump, in an address to Israel’s Knesset, delivered a series of pointed remarks on the region’s future following recent developments.
He declared, “America joins you in those two everlasting vows—never forget, and never again,” underscoring solidarity with Israel.
Trump noted, “Israel has won all that can be won by force of arms,” and emphasized that the next phase should focus on building peace: “it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire middle east.”
Addressing Gaza, he said, “the total focus of Gazans must be on restoring the fundamentals of stability, safety, dignity, and economic development.”
Highlighting recent successes, Trump added, “against all odds, we have done the impossible, and brought our hostages home.”
