In what officials are calling a breakthrough moment in Middle East diplomacy, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit Israel following the successful negotiation of the first stage of his proposed peace plan between Israel and Hamas.
According to reports from Ynet, the American leader will travel to Israel immediately after the formal signing of the agreement, having accepted an invitation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Knesset in Jerusalem.
The phone call between Trump and Netanyahu, held shortly after news of the agreement broke, was described as warm and congratulatory. “They congratulated each other on a historic achievement,” a senior Israeli official said, highlighting the symbolic weight of the development.
The agreement marks the first tangible progress in direct or indirect talks between Israel and Hamas in years, and it comes amid mounting international pressure for a lasting ceasefire and a political solution to the Gaza conflict.
While details of the initial stage have not been made public, sources close to the negotiations say it includes humanitarian guarantees, prisoner exchanges, and groundwork for a long-term cessation of hostilities. Trump’s visit is expected to reinforce Washington’s renewed role as a key mediator in the region.
Analysts say the move could also signal a shift in Israel’s domestic political tone, with Netanyahu seeking to project stability after months of criticism over his handling of the war and the hostage crisis.
Trump’s planned address before the Knesset is being described as a symbolic gesture aimed at reaffirming U.S.–Israel relations and the pursuit of what he has called “a permanent peace in the Middle East.”
