Soaring Hope in the Middle East, Trump Ends an Age of Terror

A historic hostage release sets the stage for President Trump’s Knesset address, where he declares the end of an age of terror and the beginning of a new regional peace—urging Israel to choose diplomacy, inviting Iran to engage, and rallying nations to rebuild Gaza.

“Soaring Hope,” something citizens of the Middle East haven’t allowed themselves to feel in generations.

That was the theme of President Trump’s speech before the Israeli Knesset Monday after the release of all the hostages.

President Trump Addresses the Israeli Parliament - October 13, 2025.

“Instead of making weapons and missiles, the wealth of this region should flow to schools and medicine, industry... it could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back... by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden."
"This is not only the End of a war—it is the END of an age of terror and death, and the BEGINNING of the age of faith, hope, and of God... This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East."

In his speech was a punch at Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Prior to Trump’s intervention, Netanyahu had set out to occupy Gaza in pursuit of an unrealizable goal–the complete elimination of Hamas.  He had also claimed that Israel could become a “new Sparta” and would annex the West Bank in order to forever bar the creation of a Palestinian state. 

Diplomatically praising Netanyahu, Trump was emphatic that it was time for peace.  He informed Netanyahu that “Israel cannot fight the entire world.” 

He also extended a hand to Iran and invited them to join in the new Middle East.

Tel Aviv Crowd Booo's Netanyahu, CHEERS TRUMP!

At a rally in Hostage Square Saturday, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Ivanka Trump spoke to the assembled thousands.  When Witkoff tried to praise Benjamin Netanyahu the crowd booed or shouted Trump, Trump, Trump over him.

This crowd, which had been protesting Netanyahu’s emphasis on war as the means to secure the release of the hostages, has been composed of mostly liberal Israelis.  It demonstrated the key leverage Trump has had in his negotiations with Netanyahu dating all the way back to the Abraham Accords. 

Israelis like him much more than Netanyahu. 

What's next?

Trump had also greenlighted a meeting  between Hamas’ negotiators and Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner last week. The negotiations had stalled on their fears that Israel would resume the war as soon as the hostages were released. 

Witkoff told them that President Trump would personally prevent Israel from resuming the war.

Trump is now on his way to Egypt.  He will host a meeting of the leaders of over 20 nations, there to get them to fully back the peace process, the rebuilding of Gaza, and a competent government for the Palestinian people.

It is urgent that the rebuilding process start immediately.  The Oslo Accords collapsed when the Clinton Administration handed all funding of reconstruction to the IMF.
