In one of the most extraordinary diplomatic breakthroughs of the 21st century, President Donald J. Trump has done what generations of world leaders could not — bringing peace, stability, and hope to a region long defined by war and division.

This morning, as hostages were released in Israel and Gaza and families embraced in long-awaited reunions, the world witnessed history. President Trump’s Council of Peace, a visionary expansion of the Abraham Accords, has taken hold — signaling not just the end of conflict, but the beginning of a new era of prosperity and cooperation in the Middle East

Speaking before the Israeli parliament, President Trump delivered a powerful, unifying, and often humorous address that captivated both sides of the aisle. “Today,” he declared, “we do not celebrate victory in war — we celebrate the triumph of peace. The courage to stop fighting is far greater than the courage to start.”

The chamber erupted in applause.

Trump praised Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, calling them “heroes of history” for their persistence and diplomatic brilliance in crafting the peace framework. “They never gave up,” Trump said, “and because of that, the world can finally exhale.”

In trademark Trump fashion, the moment blended gravity with levity, going off script. Turning to President Isaac Herzog, he said, “Why don’t you give Bibi a pardon?” — drawing laughter and applause throughout the Knesset.

Trump made it clear that America stands firm with Israel while extending a hand of peace to the Palestinian people. “We want prosperity for everyone,” he said. “Peace isn’t about sides — it’s about the future.”

Trump contrasted his philosophy of “peace through strength” with what he described as the “weak and apologetic” policies of previous administrations. “We don’t bow to tyranny,” he said pointedly. “We bring peace through power and respect — and the world is learning that again.”

The Board of Peace, which includes Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia — with more nations expected to join — aims to rebuild war-torn areas, open trade, and foster cultural understanding. “We’re not just ending wars,” Trump said. “We’re building futures — factories, schools, and families where once there was rubble and despair.”

The results have stunned observers across the globe. Critics who dismissed Trump’s diplomacy as “unconventional” now find themselves watching an unprecedented success unfold. Many are calling for Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, not as a symbolic gesture, but as recognition of tangible, world-changing achievement.

As President Trump travels to Cairo today to expand peace efforts and strengthen economic cooperation, his words continue to resonate: “The time for endless wars is over. The time for endless peace has begun.”

For the first time in living memory, the Middle East is united by hope instead of fear. The guns are silent. The people are singing. And history will remember this day — not for the battles that were fought, but for the peace that was finally won.
