Trump receives roaring applause for historic peace deal after all remaining hostages are freed



President Donald Trump was enthusiastically welcomed to Israel after brokering a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, leading to the release of all the remaining living hostages in the region.

Trump arrived in Israel to find newspapers praising the peacemaker, roaring applause and standing ovations in the Knesset, and even some attendees wearing MAGA-style hats celebrating the "peace president." The 20 remaining living hostages were returned to their families on Monday.

'I got my life back thanks to you.'

For the first time in over two years, Hamas no longer holds any living hostages thanks to Trump's historic peace deal.

"After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families, and it is glorious," Trump said in his address to the Knesset. "Twenty-eight more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time. ... The sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace."

Trump met with all the families of the hostages following their release, many of them recounting the horrors that took place on October 7, 2023. The hostages also expressed overwhelming gratitude for Trump's peace deal, saying if it were not for him, they might not be alive.

One hostage told Trump about meeting, for the first time, his 14-month-old daughter, who was born while he was in captivity.

“I got my life back thanks to you and your staff," the freed hostage told Trump. "I came back here, met my baby girl when she was already 14 months old, and now, life is full."

"Your name will be remembered for generations," another hostage family said.

'Who the hell cares?' Trump veers off script, urges Israeli president to pardon Netanyahu



President Donald Trump once again has gone off script, this time during his historic address to Israel's Knesset on Monday.

Trump traveled to Israel Sunday to deliver remarks and celebrate the landmark peace deal the administration brokered between Israel and Hamas. During the speech, Trump admitted he went off script when he urged Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

'Who the hell cares?'

"Hey, I have an idea," Trump said. "Mr. President, why don't you give [Netanyahu] a pardon?"

Trump promptly received another standing ovation from the Knesset. Notably, the majority of the Knesset share a political affiliation with Netanyahu, who is part of the right-wing Likud party.

"That was not in the speech, as you probably know," Trump added. "But I happen to like this gentleman right over here, and it just seems to make so much sense. Whether we like it or not, this has been one of the greatest wartime presidents. Cigars and champagne, who the hell cares?"

Trump has previously expressed support for pardoning Netanyahu, who he says is the victim of a legal "witch hunt."

"Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me," Trump said in a Truth Social post in June. "He deserves much better than this, and so does the State of Israel. Bibi Netanyahu's trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State."

"Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the President of the United States, ME, than Bibi Netanyahu," Trump added. "It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu. THIS TRAVESTY OF 'JUSTICE' CAN NOT BE ALLOWED!"
