LIVE REPLAY: Donald Trump addresses Israeli parliament

Описание: US President Donald Trump told the Israeli parliament on Monday that the ceasefire he helped broker in the Gaza war had ushered in the "historic dawn of a new Middle East".

"And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace, a land and a region that will live, God willing, in peace for all eternity," he said.

"This is not only the end of a war... This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East."

All 20 living hostages have been handed over by Hamas, according to the Israeli military. Nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees boarded buses at Israeli prisons and have been released in the West Bank, Gaza, Jerusalem and abroad.

Monday's developments were precipitated by the White House's release of a 20-point peace plan for the region late last month, which also called for a ceasefire, disarmament of Hamas and a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

A ceasefire has been in place since noon on Friday local time. Trump had announced two days earlier that both Israel and Hamas had signed off on the first phase of the plan.

After addressing the Knesset, Trump will travel to Egypt's Sharm El-Sheikh for a summit on ending the war. Other world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, are expected to be there.
