We have a Hamas office here, despite Hamas's designation as a terror organization by the US government. The reason for this office dates back to when it was first established with full transparency, consultation, and at the request of the US. The US asked us to open channels with Hamas and establish a communication channel, similar to what was done with the Taliban. Having a presence and engaging in dialogue doesn't imply endorsement or support of their ideas. The office was meant to facilitate peace, stabilize the region, and serve that purpose.

Charlie Kirk openly questioned the story Israel was trying to tell the world about October 7. Was there a stand down order? Was there a stand down order? Six hours? I don't believe it. There's also another country that asked Qatar to support Hamas. It was Israel. In 2018, Netanyahu himself sent a secret letter to the Qatari leadership. In that letter, he urged Qatar to deliver $30,000,000 a month to Gaza. That policy was approved by the full Israeli Security Cabinet. Qatar just gifted The United States a $400,000,000 jet. Israel sending bombs in return is one heck of a thank you note. Is American hegemony in 2025 really watching our own air defenses shooting down US funded bombs launched from US made planes?

The speakers welcomed various leaders, including the Senate Democratic Leader, Senate Republican Leader, Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, Vice President, and President of the United States. The Prime Minister of Israel was also welcomed back to the APEC stage. The speaker emphasized the unique alliance between Israel and the United States, stating that US support for Israel is and should remain bipartisan. They described Israel as a strategic ally and emphasized the unbreakable friendship between the two nations. It was asserted that America is safer when it stands with Israel, and that caring about American security necessitates caring about Israel's security. The speaker concluded by saying that America and Israel need support more than ever, and offered blessings for both nations.

I am addressing you from the Oval Office. Today, I want to highlight significant news: after eight months of negotiations, a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas has been reached. This plan, which I detailed in May, was developed by my team and will be implemented by the incoming administration. I ensured that my team kept the incoming administration informed, as collaboration is essential for us as Americans.

President of The United States, the president of the Republic Of Azerbaijan, and the prime minister of the Republic Of Armenia will now sign the joint declaration on the outcomes of the Trump route for international peace and prosperity summit. They will sign three copies in English. The president of The United States signs as a witness to the president of The Republic Of Azerbaijan and the prime minister of The Republic Of Armenia, affirming their path to peace, stability, and prosperity. We kindly ask that all guests remain seated for the signing of the documents.

It's a a really significant first step, and I really commend president Trump and his administration as well as Arab leaders in the region for making the commitment to the 20 plan and seeing a path forward for what's often called the day after. Most importantly, the conflict hopefully will end with the cease fire. The hostages will be returned. And then the very hard work of rebuilding Gaza, of finding the kind of security that Israel and the Palestinians after Hamas deserved to have, moving forward with the other points in the plan to try to create an opportunity for Palestinians to have a better life and for Israel to have greater peace and security, I am very hopeful that we'll be able to see progress. Today's a good start, but we have to keep going from here.

We must remember the plan from Egypt and the Arab nations. We've been invited by Mohammed bin Salman for discussions in Riyadh. We need to figure out how to make this beneficial for everyone, especially considering the best interests of the United States and the people of my country, Jordan. We can immediately take 2,000 sick children to Jordan and await the Egyptian plan to tackle larger issues. That gesture of taking 2,000 children with cancer or other illnesses is truly appreciated. We will work with Egypt and Jordan, with high-level assistance from others, to achieve great progress. With the United States in control of a significant piece of land, there will be stability in the Middle East for the first time. The people of Gaza will live safely in another location, free from the constant violence. They will have great homes and families, safe from Hamas. I am confident we can work something out with Egypt, almost certainly.

This is a wonderful first step, following the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, something I'm very proud of. Many in the United States believe it was a brilliant decision, and today, we're going to give it some effect and bring it to life.

The involvement of President-elect Trump's team has been crucial in finalizing this deal, especially with the current administration's term ending in 5 days. The United States, Egypt, and Qatar are the guarantors, with Egypt and Qatar encouraging Hamas to negotiate and the U.S. urging Israel to do the same. It's essential for all parties to recognize that U.S. commitments should extend beyond this administration. Having representatives from both the outgoing and incoming administrations negotiating a ceasefire is unusual but significant. We appreciate the Trump team's participation in this agreement.

The speaker states that he kept his promise by officially recognizing the capital of Israel and moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. He calls attention to Miriam, asking her to stand, and notes that Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office and often visited the White House more than anyone else they could think of. He credits them with being very responsible for much of what happened, including prompting him to think about the Golan Heights, which he describes as probably one of the greatest things to ever happen.

We will take Gaza. There’s no need to buy it; it's a war-torn area that needs development. It will become a tremendous asset for the Middle East, creating many jobs and bringing peace. It fronts the sea, offering great economic potential. This is something that should have been done long ago, but the October 7th catastrophe made it a necessary action. While development will take time, it will ultimately bring stability and jobs to the region. This will benefit people across the Middle East. We will be discussing our plans with Arab representatives from the United States. My real estate background has prepared me for this endeavor, but my focus is on doing good for people as president.

And our weapon systems we share with The United States. We're tremendously appreciative of the bipartisan support and military matters to Israel in previous years and today as well. But do you have cell phones? Any you have cell phones here? No. You're holding a piece of Israel right there. You know that? I mean, a lot of the cell phones, the medicines, the foods, you eat cherry tomatoes. You know where that was made?

Having a president who values diplomacy and alliances is crucial. Today is truly remarkable because of the significance of these alliances.

Today marks a historic moment in the Middle East as nations come together to forge a new path. These agreements signify a shift towards comprehensive peace, defying past conflicts and divisions. The world witnesses a choice for cooperation, friendship, prosperity, and hope over conflict and despair. Arabs, Israelis, Muslims, Jews, and Christians can now envision a future of unity, harmony, and peace, living, praying, and dreaming together. Congratulations to the people of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the kingdom of Bahrain. This day holds immense significance for the entire world.

Donald Trump was working to bring peace between Iran and Israel, and Israel didn’t want that at all. They tried to murder the negotiators in that round of peace talks from Hamas in Doha, and they tried to tell the world that Trump signed off on this, that Trump knew, totally false. Trump did not know. Not only did they do this, they tried to implicate Trump in it. A couple of weeks later he responded with an executive order that I’m going to read verbatim because it’s bet not one in a hundred people knows this even happened. This was in September: he signed an executive order called the Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar. The order states: The United States and the State of Qatar have been bound together by close cooperation, shared interests, and the close relationship between our armed forces. The State of Qatar has hosted The United States forces, enabled critical security operations, and stood as a steadfast ally in pursuit of peace, stability, and prosperity both in The Middle East and abroad, including as a mediator that has assisted The United States attempts to resolve significant regional and global conflicts. Listen: In recognition of this history and in light of the continuing threats to the state of Qatar posed by foreign aggression, it is the policy of The US to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the state of Qatar against external attack. The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory sovereignty or critical infrastructure of the state of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of The United States. Oh, wait a second. What was the last act of foreign aggression against Qatar? What happened that exact same month? It was a bombing by Israel. So Israel bombs Qatar and Donald Trump issues an executive order saying if you do that again, reading by the language here, we’re going to war with you. Donald Trump took the side of Qatar over and above Israel and told Israel, and who knows if he’d actually do it, it’s in the executive order, If you do this again, that’s tantamount to an attack on us. That’s a security guarantee. Keep that in mind because there are a lot of Trump voters who are upset about nine eleven; the residue was still in their mouth. That part of the world did it to us. Islam did it to us. And anyone who wants to have a normal relationship with an Islamic country is probably pro Al Qaeda. I get it. I know those feelings. Had them. But here Donald Trump, the guy that you voted for taking Qatar’s side against Israel. Why is that? Because Donald Trump is a secret Islamist? No. Because Qatar is a lot better for The United States than Israel has been.

We have very tough fighters, and we're proud of them, but now we want to bring this to an end because enough is enough. I appreciate you being here. Thank you for coming. We will sign an agreement at the conference in the East Room shortly after lunch, which we will have together. We're also in discussions about other things, and we appreciate everyone's presence. This is a somewhat exciting moment.

The speaker welcomes Minister Qaddafi to the State Department, stating that the United States deeply values its relationship with Libya. The speaker expresses enthusiasm for deepening and broadening cooperation between the two countries and looks forward to building on the existing relationship. Minister Qaddafi expresses his gratitude.

After weeks of saying a ceasefire was impossible, a temporary ceasefire was achieved. This led to the release of hostages and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The long-term plan is crucial. Vice President Harris and Acting Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin emphasized that engaging in urban warfare, like Israel did in northern Gaza, may result in a temporary victory but not a long-term strategic win. To avoid the casualties seen in northern Gaza, it is essential to change the approach to the current war Israel is waging on Gaza.

The deal was achieved under the current president's framework, with significant support from Israel, which weakened Hamas and created the conditions for this outcome. Coordination with the incoming administration was key, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful transition for the American people. The focus is not on credit but on the successful negotiations that will bring hostages home after 15 months of suffering. This is a critical development, and the hope is for continued progress towards ending the conflict. Additionally, increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza is essential, as many people there are in need.

Since October 7, Israel's enemies have learned a hard truth: those who attack us pay a heavy price, but those who partner with us advance progress and security for their peoples. President Trump just said it, and it's also in the Bible. It says those who will bless you will be blessed, and those who will curse you will be cursed. And that's actually what is happening. We want the blessings. I think we've done a lot in the past two years to end the curse. We're not finished, but we've done a lot. And we've done a lot together.

So we spent a lot of time talking about NATO. First, I do wanna remind people that Ukraine and the NATO alliance have built a strong partnership. Ukraine is the only non NATO nation supporting every NATO mission. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Ukrainian troops are helping to support young democracies. In Kosovo, Ukrainians are help keep the peace. Ukraine now seeks to deepen its cooperation with the NATO alliance through a membership action plan. Your nation has made a bold decision, and The United States strongly supports your request. In Bucharest this week, I will continue to make America's position clear. We support MAP for Ukraine and Georgia. Helping Ukraine move toward NATO membership is in the interest of every member in the alliance and will help advance security and freedom in this region and around the world.

Our nations, the United States and Israel, share a strong bond as we both strive to do good and be strong.
