Donald Trump received a warm welcome at the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, where he delivered his first address by a US President since 2008. During his speech, he emphasized the dawn of a new era in the Middle East, foreseeing an end to longstanding conflicts in the region. Trump also expressed his desire for peace deals with Iran while highlighting the importance of addressing issues with Russia.
In a surprising move, Trump suggested that the Israeli President pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from ongoing corruption charges. Despite this, he emphasized the need for peace and prosperity in the Middle East, declaring that the time for war was over.
While Trump portrayed himself as a peacemaker, concerns remain about his ability to stay committed to the peace process. The road to lasting peace in the region faces numerous challenges that require sustained effort and dedication.
