“We have peace in the Middle East,” US President Donald Trump declares at the Board of Peace unveiling ceremony in Davos, Switzerland.
Flanked by a melange of world leaders and top diplomats, Trump speaks initially not about Gaza, but about other conflicts he says he has settled or is about to settle.
The war in Gaza, he says, “is coming to an end,” though there remain “little fires” that must be put out.
Hamas will probably meet its commitments, says Trump, but if it doesn’t — because “they were born with rifles in their hands” — it will be destroyed.
“They have to give up their weapons, and if they don’t, it’s going to be the end of them,” he says.
Trump claims that “many countries have told me we want to go in and do it.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
