US President Donald Trump arrived in Israel on Monday aboard Air Force One, marking a significant diplomatic moment as the first group of Israeli hostages were released from Gaza after two years in captivity.
Upon his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, President Trump was welcomed with full state honors, including a red-carpet reception led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
The visit comes amid renewed efforts to strengthen US-Israel relations and support the ongoing peace and security discussions in the region following the long-awaited hostage release.
Trump’s presence is seen as a show of solidarity with Israel during a pivotal moment for both nations, as families of the freed hostages reunite after years of uncertainty and global attention turns to the next phase of negotiations between Israel and Palestinian representatives.
