Trump has hailed an end to a “painful nightmare” after two years of war in Gaza during his address to Israel’s parliament, AFP reports.

“From October 7 until this week, Israel has been a nation at war, enduring burdens that only a proud and faithful people could withstand,” he said.

“For so many families across this land, it has been years since you’ve known a single day of true peace… The long and painful nightmare is finally over,” the US president added.
