US President Donald Trump signs the guest book at the Knesset on October 13, 2025 (Screen grab)
US President Donald Trump has arrived in the Knesset, briefly greeting Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana before taking a seat to sign the Knesset guestbook.
“This is my great honor. A great and beautiful day, a new beginning,” he writes in a thick, black sharpie marker, flanked by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife, and Ohana and his partner.
Trump then heads to the plenum to address the Knesset, becoming the fourth US president to do so, but first stops to talk to the press.
