Trump Lays Out ‘Golden Age’ Of Peace In Major Israel Speech

President Donald Trump said Monday that the release of the last Israeli hostages held by Hamas would open the door to a new “golden age” of peace and stability for Israel and the Middle East.

Speaking to Israel’s Knesset, Trump urged the nations in the Middle East to pursue peace and economic prosperity following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire brokered by his administration.

“Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment that everything began to change and change very much for the better. Like the USA right now, it will be the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East,” Trump said. 

“This is not only the end of a war—it is the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of the age of faith, and hope, and of God,” he added. “This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East.”

During his speech, Trump expressed gratitude to the Arab nations that he said played a role in pressuring Hamas to agree to the deal.

“This long and difficult war has now ended,” Trump said. “And in an unprecedented achievement, virtually the entire region has endorsed the plan that Gaza will be immediately demilitarized, that Hamas will be disarmed and Israel’s security will no longer be threatened in any way, shape or form.”

He also called for more nations to join the Abraham Accords, an agreement to normalize relations with Israel signed by countries like the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain during Trump’s first term. 

“It’s more obvious than ever that the productive and responsible nations of this region should not be enemies or adversaries; you should be partners and eventually, even friends, and that’s what’s going to happen. I know it. Together, you can stand against the forces of chaos,” Trump said.

Just hours before Trump’s speech, the final 20 living hostages held by Hamas were released after more than two years in captivity. The hostages were escorted out of Gaza by the Red Cross, transferred to the Israel Defense Forces, and reunited with their families.

Trump is now set to head to Egypt, where he will attend a Middle East peace summit.
