Tel Aviv, 13 October 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Addressing a special session of the Israeli parliament on Monday, US President Donald Trump said the deal between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza would be "the historic dawn of a new Middle East."

It would be "the end of an age of terror and death," the US president said.

"It will be the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East," he said.

Turning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he said: "Thank you very much, Bibi. Great job."

Trump received multiple standing ovations both before and during his speech.

During one section where he was praising US special envoy Steve Witkoff, a demonstrator shouted at Trump and was swiftly ejected.

"That was very efficient," Trump commented.
