Former U.S. President Donald Trump has called the latest ceasefire in Gaza a “historic dawn of a new Middle East.” Speaking before Israeli lawmakers, he said the recent peace agreement marked the end of what he called an “age of terror and death.”
Trump praised Israeli leadership for their role in securing the release of all remaining hostages from Gaza. The deal, brokered with U.S. involvement, included an exchange where Israel released a large number of Palestinian prisoners in return. The move has been seen as a major diplomatic step after years of conflict.
The former president described the event as a turning point for the region. He said it was time to move from war toward peace and rebuilding. Trump also urged global powers to support reconstruction efforts in Gaza and help establish long-term stability in the Middle East.
While the ceasefire has brought temporary calm, many observers remain cautious. They believe challenges still lie ahead, including how Gaza will be governed and how future security arrangements will work. Questions also remain about the disarmament of militant groups and who will oversee the peace terms.
Trump’s speech carried both optimism and symbolism. He called for unity among nations, saying that a new era of faith and hope had begun. He also expressed strong support for Israel’s leadership, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation to maintain peace.
However, critics argue that the situation remains fragile. The decades-long divisions between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be solved overnight. Many regional leaders are urging for balanced reconstruction efforts and long-term political solutions to sustain the peace.
For now, the ceasefire has offered a rare moment of calm in a region long affected by violence. Whether this marks a real “new dawn” for the Middle East will depend on how both sides handle the next phase of peace and rebuilding.
