President Donald Trump says the strikes against Iranian nuclear sites were key to the Israel-Hamas deal following the release of 20 Israeli hostages from Gaza.

Trump has been touted as a historic peacemaker after he helped end or de-escalate multiple global conflicts in the wake of his second term, which began just 10 months ago.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. strike on key Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this year spooked Hamas and accelerated the release of Israeli hostages.

Trump’s Oct. 13 address focused on his administration’s efforts to produce an agreement between Israel and Hamas, which included a Gaza ceasefire and the release of 20 Israeli hostages, 250 Palestinian prisoners and about 1,700 Palestinian detainees held without charges.

As Israel and Hamas traded hostages and prisoners on Monday, taking a first step toward peace, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the Knesset, Israel's parliament, telling them he had ended his eighth war.

The meeting, co-hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Donald Trump, follows Trump’s visit to Israel, where he addressed the Knesset and met families of hostages held during the conflict.

Iran says it executed a man accused of spying for Israel, but activists dispute the claim, saying he was tortured into a false confession.
