Fact-Checking President Trump's Claims
President Donald Trump's address in Israel sparked scrutiny over his statements on peace, war, and Iran.
Trump framed the agreement he helped broker as a "historic dawn of a new Middle East," claiming it marked the "end of an age of terror and death" and the beginning of an "age of faith and hope and of God."
His October 13 address to the Knesset, Israel's parliament, highlighted his administration's efforts to produce an agreement between Israel and Hamas, including a Gaza ceasefire and the release of hostages and prisoners.
- 20 Israeli hostages released
- 250 Palestinian prisoners released
- Approximately 1,700 Palestinian detainees held without charges released
"This is not only the end of a war, this is the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God."
The future phases of the 20-point plan aimed at achieving lasting peace are complex and uncertain.
