Former President Joe Biden and Antony Blinken each took some credit Monday for President Donald Trump's Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal, arguing it followed groundwork laid by the Biden administration.

President Donald Trump on Monday traveled to the Middle East to promote his role in a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, visiting Israel first as the country celebrated the release of all living hostages held in Gaza.

In another hot-mic moment, after Trump told the press to clear the room during talks with world leaders, he was approached by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. Most of their exchange was inaudible, but the name “Eric” could be clearly heard—presumably a reference to Trump’s son, who now runs the Trump Organization.

In a speech to Israel's parliament on a day when the country's 20 hostages were released as part of a ceasefire agreement he helped broker, President Donald Trump was expected to tell the Knesset, "This is the historic dawn of a new Middle East," according to excerpts released by the White House.

The president called on Israel and Arab governments to move beyond decades of conflict and war, but he faces obstacles extending the Gaza deal to the wider region.

At a high-profile conference of world leaders in Egypt about ending the war in the Gaza Strip, President Trump and the leaders of three other nations made a big production out of what he called “a very important signing,” characterizing it as a major breakthrough in the decades-long search for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan will nominate President Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize, citing his contributions to Middle East and peace.
