US President Donald Trump told the Israeli Knesset that his personality and leadership focus on “stopping wars” and promoting peace.

Hamas freed the 20 hostages and Israel released some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners as part of a cease-fire. President Trump, in Israel, proclaimed an “end” to the war, but Israel and Hamas have not agreed on next steps in Gaza.

He told TheWrap he sees this moment as an inflection point in the broader state of affairs in the Middle East, one that marks both the end of a dark spell for the families of those taken hostage and the potential for prosperity for those in Gaza as it rebuilds.

Hamas has freed all 20 living hostages but has only released the bodies of four dead hostages today - prompting outrage from families. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and world leaders have signed the Gaza peace plan at a summit in Egypt.

It comes as Israel waits for Hamas to release the hostages ahead of Monday's deadline, PM Netanyahu says "tomorrow is the beginning of a new path".
