Knesset Chairman Amir Ohana formally invites US President Donald Trump to address the legislature, following informal offers for the US president to address Israeli lawmakers during a planned trip to Israel next week.

Ohana’s letter to Trump, published in X, praises the president for his help in brokering a cease-fire agreement in Gaza that includes the release of all 48 hostages held there by terror groups. The deal was announced early this morning.

In the post, he calls Trump the “President of Peace.”

It is my profound honor and privilege to officially invite the greatest friend and ally of the Jewish people in modern history, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, to deliver a formal address to the nation before the Knesset.

“Today is a historic day,” he writes in the letter. “Your leadership, courage, perseverance and vision have led not only to an agreement that secures the release of all Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, but also to an unprecedented regional agreement that has been embraced by nearly every nation in the Middle East.”

The letter goes on to praise a list of Trump’s other actions on Israel during his first term, from 2017 to 2021, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and mediating the Abrahamic Accords, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries.
