Trump said the second phase of negotiations on a peace agreement were under way. During his address to the Knesset, the American president suggested the region was experiencing “the historic dawn of a new Middle East”. His words echoed the phrasing he used when Israel signed landmark deals with several Arab states during his first presidency. “At last, not only for Israelis but also Palestinians, the long and painful nightmare is finally over,” Trump told the Israeli parliament. Adding to the jubilant atmosphere in the room were politicians’ chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump”. The ceasefire that he helped to broker was “the most challenging breakthrough of them all, the most challenging breakthrough maybe ever”, the US leader reflected. He indicated that ending the Russia-Ukraine war would be his next focus.
