Why Trump’s Speech Before the Israeli Knesset Was Historic

In an extraordinary session of the Israeli Knesset, President Donald Trump delivered a record-breaking 68-minute speech, making it the longest address ever by a foreign leader in the parliament’s history.

He declared that the Gaza war has ended and emphasized that the Middle East is entering a new era of peace.

Lawmakers repeatedly applauded, some rising in respect, while two Arab MPs heckled the president.

Trump’s speech surpasses previous notable addresses, including Egypt’s Anwar Sadat at 55 minutes and Angela Merkel at 20 minutes.

The speech stands as one of the most defining political moments in the Knesset’s modern history, highlighting both his influence and the significance of the event.
