The US president has expressed his appreciation for Arab nations and the Muslim leaders “that came together to press Hamas, to set the hostages free”.
“We had a lot of help … a lot of people that you wouldn’t suspect, and I want to thank them very much for that,” he added.
“It’s an incredible triumph for Israel and the world to have all of these nations working together as partners in peace.”
President Donald Trump addresses the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, on October 13, 2025 in Jerusalem. President Trump is visiting the country hours after Hamas released some of the remaining Israeli hostages captured on Oct. 7, 2023, part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
