Donald Trump has vowed to use the power of his presidency to ensure that Israel recognises it has achieved \u2018all that it can by force of arms\u2019. Key US politics stories from 13 October 2025
\u201cAt long last, we have peace in the Middle East,\u201d Donald Trump<\/a> declared, as he and regional leaders signed a declaration meant to cement a ceasefire in Gaza. Analysts said however that a litany of thorny issues are unresolved, and many barriers to a lasting peace remain.
The president made a lightning visit to Israel, where he lauded prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an address to parliament, and then Egypt, for a summit where he pledged to be a guarantor to the Gaza deal.
As part of Trump\u2019s plan to end the Gaza war, Hamas on Monday freed the last 20 surviving hostages it held after two years of captivity in Gaza. In exchange, Israel released 1,968 mostly Palestinian prisoners held in its jails, its prison service said.
Much remains to be negotiated, among the most pressing sticking points Hamas\u2019s refusal to disarm and Israel\u2019s failure to pledge full withdrawal from the devastated territory.
The US leader, however, repeatedly signalled he was confident the ceasefire will hold, saying at a joint appearance with Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi in Sharm el-Sheikh that talks on the next steps of the plan had already \u201cstarted, as far as we\u2019re concerned\u201d.
Donald Trump has vowed to use the power of his presidency to ensure that Israel recognises it has achieved \u201call that it can by force of arms\u201d, and begin an age of cooperation in the Middle East that may ultimately extend as far as peace with Iran.
In a speech to the Israeli Knesset, made hours after the last remaining Israeli hostages were released from Gaza, Trump hailed the \u201chistoric dawn of a new Middle East\u201d and an end to the \u201clong and painful nightmare\u201d of the Gaza war.
