US President Donald Trump praised the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, calling it a “moment of peace” for the Middle East. Speaking in Israel’s Parliament, Trump said, “It’s time to rebuild Gaza and build your people up.” He repeated his claim of ending “eight wars in eight months” and urged Palestinians to turn away from “terror and violence.” Trump also asked Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces corruption charges. As part of the ceasefire, 20 Israeli hostages and over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners were released. Trump thanked Arab and Muslim nations for their help and said peace with Iran “will happen.” (PC: AP)
