President Trump landed in Israel on Monday morning, arriving at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv at about 9:43 a.m. local time. He stepped off his plane to a red‑carpet reception outside Lod, the mainland terminal that serves the capital region.
The visit follows the historic cease‑fire deal he negotiated that ended the two‑year conflict between Israel and Hamas. Now the former U.S. president is on the ground to oversee the exchange of hostages that the agreement calls for.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were seen with Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, as the officials welcomed the former president at the airport. Their arrival marks the start of a new chapter for the region after the brutal fighting that has claimed thousands of lives.
The last phase of the hostage swap is in motion. Seven hostages who were freed under the deal have now crossed into Israel, with officials saying the process continues as more prisoners move to safe locations.
Trump’s trip highlights his role in bringing an end to the fighting and the beginning of a fragile peace. The Israeli public watches closely as the former U.S. president demonstrates his influence on foreign policy and humanitarian outcomes in a conflict‑torn region.
