U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem this morning, October 13th, 2025, amidst the ongoing return of hostages and evolving diplomatic engagements.

The President also met with abducted-spaced families, kidnapped individuals, IDF wounded, and victims of terrorist operations from October 7th, as confirmed by a statement from @netanyahu. Earlier in the reporting window, President Trump made a stop in Bnei Brak to purchase challot for the upcoming festival of Simchat Torah, as reported by @DocumentIsrael. Earlier today, thirteen hostages were transferred to IDF forces within Gaza and are en route to Israel for medical evaluations and family reunification, including Eitan Mor, according to joint IDF and Shin Bet notices. The return of these hostages occurred between 7:06 AM and 10:05 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025, according to @Osint613. This development follows earlier reports of thirteen hostages being transferred to IDF forces within Gaza and en route to Israel for medical evaluations and family reunification, including Eitan Mor and Ziv Berman, between 7:06 AM and 10:05 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025. In separate diplomatic news, Indonesia has announced that President Prabowo Subianto will not travel to Israel tomorrow, October 14th, 2025, refuting earlier reports.
