Donald J. Trump

Mr. Speaker, esteemed members of the Knesset and cherished citizens of Israel,

We gather on a day of profound joy, of soaring hope, of renewed faith, and above all, a day to give our deepest thanks to the almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Please expel this Knesset member.

Please expel this Knesset member.

Please expel Knesset member Kasif out of the hall.

Please expel him immediately.

Sorry for that, Mr. President.

and to all the families whose lives were forever changed by the atrocities of that day, and all of the people of Israel, please know that America joins you in those two everlasting vows, never forget and never again.

This long and difficult war has now ended.

You know, some people say 3,000 years.

Some people say 500 years.

Whatever it is, it's the granddaddy of them all.

And in an unprecedented achievement, virtually the entire region has endorsed the plan that Gaza will be immediately demilitarized, that Hamas will be disarmed, and Israel's security will no longer be threatened.

Thank you.

We also convey my tremendous appreciation for all of the nations of the Arab and Muslim world that came together to press Hamas to set the hostages free and to send them home.

We had a lot of help.

We had a lot of help from a lot of people that you wouldn't suspect.

And I want to thank them very much for that.

It's an incredible triumph for Israel and the world to have all of these nations working together as partners in peace.

And it's pretty unusual for you to see that.
