U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset on Monday, describing a "day of profound joy." Trump said it was a "great honor" to be speaking before the Knesset. He began his remarks by praising “20 courageous hostages” who he said are “returning to the glorious embrace of their families." "Today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace -- a land and a region that will live, God willing, in peace for all eternity," he added. Trump was in parliament as Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages held in Gaza on Monday, while Israel began releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire pausing two years of war that pummeled the territory, killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, and had left scores of captives in militant hands. While major questions remain about the future of Hamas and Gaza, the exchange of hostages and prisoners marked a key step toward ending the deadliest war ever between Israel and the militant group.
