Israel has officially invited U.S. President Donald Trump to deliver a formal address to the nation before the Knesset, with the invitation extended by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana on October 9th, 2025, expressing anticipation for "The Peace President." This development follows the leak of an alleged Israel-Hamas consent document outlining the "End of the Gaza War," which includes provisions for Hamas to provide information on hostages within 72 hours, with implementation involving Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, and the Red Cross, according to a report by Gili Cohen. The consent document, as detailed by Gili Cohen, specifies that the release of abductees will occur without ceremonies or media coverage, and a task team comprising the U.S., Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and any other agreed-upon country will be established for implementation. Meanwhile, Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner were present at a government meeting, as noted by Israel Hayom Heb. In a separate event, people were observed dancing at Hostages Square as a band, including Carmel Gat's cousin Gil Dickmann, performed. Previous reports indicated that President Trump was scheduled for a five-hour visit to Israel on Sunday, October 12th, 2025, landing at Ben Gurion Airport at 3 p.m. The IDF had also confirmed airstrikes in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood on the evening of October 9th, targeting a Hamas cell, which resulted in a building collapse and trapped civilians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Civil Defense agency. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been engaged in meetings with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner.
