The power of the American presidency and the way President Trump utilizes it to get things done.
Donald Trump's sheer force of personality. There are not many men, not many leaders who can walk into the Knesset in Israel to such rapturous applause, such a warm welcome, and then less than an hour later, appear in a room of world leaders, Arab and Muslim leaders, and have the same kind of warm welcome. It really is his force of nature which has managed to make this happen.
They see the strength of the United States and they see the United States in indispensable leadership on the world stage.
I think the President does deserve to take a victory lap considering what has been accomplished today.
I mean, the United States of America today and its president, Donald Trump, is at the forefront of the most important thing going on in this world, the release of these hostages and the possibility of a standing peace in the Middle East.
It was a joyous day of images.
Of people celebrating genuine, deep happiness. It's been a day of dramatic split screen moments, none more so than the sight of President Trump addressing the Israeli Parliament at the final moment as the final hostages crossed out of Gaza and aid trucks rolled freely into Gaza. The result was, after two years now, a brutal war. The unmistakable hope, the feeling in the air that something big had finally changed.
This achievement, and it is a significant achievement, would not have happened without the United States leadership. President Trump deserves a lot of credit.
For the first time in two years, over two years, 738 days. Hamas holds no living hostages in its captivity.
Well, I think President Trump needs to know that we really thank him. And it was hard for us to say it in advance because we couldn't really believe that was true. 20 hostages are actually coming. All of them are alive, all of them look good. And the fact that he made it, he promised and he kept his word and hostages are here is just amazing, and we want to thank him for that.
