US President Donald Trump is expected to visit Israel this week after a breakthrough Gaza ceasefire. Trump said he may speak at the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. The visit will be his first since returning to the White House. Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a peace deal in Cairo, which includes releasing hostages and pulling back troops. Trump called it “a great day for the world” and said all sides will be treated fairly. His last visit to Israel was in 2016 before the US recognised Jerusalem as its capital. (PC: AFP)
