On Friday, we learned that President Donald Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. It was the least shocking news since the sun rose earlier that day. Today, he’s in Israel, having just spoken to the Knesset after the last 20 living hostages were all released, and the nation celebrates its victory over Hamas in the war begun two years ago. Even some Democrats and Leftmedia pundits admit that Trump’s peace deal is impressive, Nobel or no.
Now, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana pledges to work with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to push Trump’s nomination for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. “There is no one more deserving,” Ohana said.
The fascist Nazi president arrived in Israel on Saturday, and he was met by cheering throngs of Israelis in what has become known as Hostage Square in Tel Aviv. Rally attendees donned Make America Great Again apparel and chanted “Thank you, Trump!”
This morning, Hitler Trump addressed the Knesset, where he received a lengthy standing ovation.
“After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families,” President Trump told Israeli lawmakers and dignitaries. “Twenty-eight more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time. And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace.”

Not all the bodies have been released yet; some may never be because Hamas didn’t exactly work to preserve remains.
Trump added, “This is not only the end of a war. This is the end of an age of terror and death, the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God.”
As if in rebuke to those who mischaracterize Israel as the bad guy, he put the day in context. “As we celebrate today,” he said, “let us remember how this nightmare of depravity and death all began two years ago, on the eve of the Simchat Torah holiday, thousands of innocent Israeli civilians were attacked by terrorists in one of the most evil and heinous desecrations of innocent life the world has ever seen. Please know that America joins you in those two everlasting vows. Never forget and never again.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sang Trump’s praises, too. “Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the state of Israel has ever had in the White House. No American president has ever done more for Israel than this one, and as I said in Washington, it ain’t even close.”
It must almost physically burn rabidly anti-Semitic leftists that Trump is the one who brought an end to the war they decried for Israel’s supposed “genocide” against Gazans. There was no genocide, or even a famine, for that matter.
Now that the war appears to be over, what does the future hold? More details will come in a summit that Trump will attend next in Egypt, as regional leaders meet to discuss plans. One thing seems likely: A coalition of international troops, including those from Egypt and elsewhere, may be on the ground in Gaza to restore stability.
U.S. troops will not be deployed there, assured Vice President JD Vance. “We’re not planning to put boots on the ground. What we already have is a U.S. Central Command, we already have people in that region of the world,” said Vance. “They’re going to monitor the terms of the ceasefire. They’re going to monitor [and] ensure the humanitarian aid is flowing.” He reiterated, “It’s not going to be necessary for American troops to be in Gaza.”
Much of the future depends on what happens with Iran. Tehran has sponsored much of the terrorist violence in the Middle East for decades, including Hamas’s October 7 massacre, seeking to destabilize the region and gain hegemony. Various Trump moves — from the Abraham Accords and exiting the Iran nuclear deal in his first term to a security deal with Qatar and Operation Midnight Hammer in his second — have countered Iran’s influence and strength. Even Iran-friendly Bashar al-Assad is gone from Syria.
Trump specifically praised Israel for its airstrikes in June — Operation Rising Lion. Together, he said, “We stopped the number one state sponsor of terror in obtaining the world’s most dangerous weapons.” He added, “We took a big cloud off the Middle East and off of Israel.” Looking forward, he concluded, “You know it would be great if we could make a peace deal.”
Time will tell.
Democrats have long been afflicted with chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome, but even some of them couldn’t help but admire the president’s work in the Middle East. “I really commend President Trump and his administration as well as Arab leaders in the region for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward,” said … [checks notes] … Hillary Clinton.
Indeed, Trump was successful in getting Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey to support his push against Hamas. He backed Hamas into a corner through diplomatic channels and by beating Iran into submission. It was a masterstroke of statesmanship that saved many lives.
Does anyone out there think Joe Biden could have staved off a nap long enough to make any of that happen? Does anyone out there still actually think Trump is just like Hitler? If so, it’s probably time to get some help.
