President Donald Trump arrived in Israel on October 13th, 2025, and was welcomed by the Israeli people with expressions of "so much love and so much gratitude," according to an X post from Israeli President Isaac Herzog. President Herzog specifically thanked President Trump for his efforts in bringing hostages home and for his commitment to regional peace. The post, shared by the official POTUS and Donald Trump X accounts, conveyed blessings for both Israel and America. This visit occurs as President Trump continues to assert his success in resolving international conflicts, having claimed on October 13th, 2025, to have solved eight wars. Earlier on October 13th, 2025, President Trump stated via social media, "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 followed previous reports detailing ongoing clashes at an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, and President Trump's comments on relations with China and Qatar. In related news from October 13th, 2025, The Guardian announced its decision not to sign the Pentagon's new press policy, joining The New York Times and CNN in rejecting the guidelines. The deadline for outlets to agree to the policy has not been specified, and it remains unclear if any will comply.
