Hamas released the final 20 living hostages on Monday, according to the Israeli military, as part of a breakthrough ceasefire following two years of war in the devastated Gaza Strip.
President Donald Trump spoke to Israeli lawmakers, stating that after two years of war with Hamas and clashes involving Hezbollah and Iran, Israel had achieved all it could militarily and should now focus on securing peace in the Middle East.
"Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment everything began to change,"
President Trump told the Knesset, as he pushes to capitalize on the moment and pursue long-sought peace in the region, despite the U.S.-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas remaining fragile.
