Trump Spoke at Israeli Knesset
German-Israeli twin hostages Gali and Ziv Berman have met again for the first time in more than two years after being freed by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Monday under the terms of the US-backed peace deal for Gaza
My Comments: On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas, the Palestinian Terrorist Group, attacked Israel during the Jewish holiday, Simchat Torah, killing 1200 people. Israel immediately declared war on Hamas.
President Trump worked tirelessly ever since to stop the war and free all Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. (250 Israeli civilians and soldiers)
Finally, an agreement brokered by Pres. Trump, was reached and all twenty living hostages were released two years later. (Today, Oct. 13, 2025)
The Gaza Strip was the center of the action.
In spite of Trump’s stunning record of stopping eight wars, the Nobel Peace Committee awarded the “Peace” Prize to a woman from Venezuela. Some American legislators are pushing for a “Trump” Peace Prize. I have a better name that will endure beyond Trump’s tenure in office as President; The American Peace Prize. No Liberals should be allowed to serve on its Board of Directors! Huaah!
PS: This war was nothing compared to the Ezekiel 38 war when The Lord comes down and personally destroys Israel’s enemies and establishes His Kingdom on the Earth with Jesus as the King
