Witkoff added that he wished the President were here, as he would have loved this. (Trump is due to land in the Middle East on Monday, but is unlikely to address the Israeli public in Hostages Square). He lauded President Trump as “the greatest president in American history” who had succeeded in brokering a peace deal where so many other efforts had failed.

Witkoff added that “tonight we are celebrating something extraordinary which many thought was impossible. Miracles can happen.”
