Trump, in Knesset, says Israel has ‘won all that it can by force of arms,’ praises Lapid

US President Donald Trump says the Gaza ceasefire “was the most challenging breakthrough, maybe ever.”

He says that people are dancing in the streets around the world.

“This long and difficult war has ended,” he says.

He says that the entire region “has endorsed the plan that Gaza has been demilitarized, Hamas will be disarmed, and Israel’s security will no longer be threatened in any way, shape or form.”

Israel has “won all that it can by force of arms,” he says. “You’ve won.”

Now it’s time to translate battlefield victories into peace and prosperity for the entire region, he says.

Trump praises Yesh Atid chair Yair Lapid, saying “he’s a very nice opposition leader.”

“He’s a nice man. Bibi, he’s a nice man,” he says to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, using the premier’s nickname.

“Now you can be a little bit nicer because you’re not at war anymore, Bibi,” he says.
