Trump is expected with applause in Israeli parliament, attendees stand-up

The Israeli Parliament has welcomed US President Donald Trump with applause. He is expected to give a speech in Knesset.

Tens of participants in parliament, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzeg, applauded the American leader as he entered the hall.

A large American delegation including his daughter Ivanka also applauded Trump. Officials and Others who worked on Trump's 20-point ceasefire plan were also welcomed to Knesset with applause.

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is the result of months of negotiations brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, requiring the release of about 20 Israeli hostages still alive, as well as the return of the bodies of about 28 dead hostages.

In exchange, Israel is committed to the release of about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, mainly women and young people, excluding Hamas' top figures. At the same time, it will withdraw part of its military forces from the designated Gaza areas, while humanitarian aid will again be allowed to enter under international observers' escort. /Periscope/
