President Donald Trump is addressing the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem this morning, October 13th, 2025, at approximately 9:00 AM UTC, as confirmed by a live stream link shared by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on X. This address follows President Trump's arrival in Israel earlier today, where he has been involved in efforts related to hostage releases and a potential Gaza ceasefire. Yesterday, seven hostages were released, and confidence in the ceasefire remained high. Israeli President Isaac Herzog welcomed Trump, expressing gratitude for his role in bringing hostages home. The MFA's shared link indicates the live event is currently underway, with President Trump speaking to the Knesset. President Trump had previously claimed on October 13th, 2025, to have solved eight wars, stating, "This will be my eighth war that I've solved." He added, "I'm good at solving wars, I'm good at making peace. It's an honor to do it. I've saved millions of lives." These remarks were shared by Fox News and align with previous statements made earlier in the day. In separate developments reported yesterday, The Guardian announced it would not sign the Pentagon's new press policy, joining The New York Times and CNN in rejecting the guidelines. Meanwhile, footage from Portland, Oregon, showed federal agents pushing back demonstrators outside an ICE facility. Anti-ICE protesters were observed dancing outside the facility, following earlier clashes that occurred between 1:05 AM and 2:05 AM UTC on October 13th, 2025.
