U.S. President Donald Trump received a standing ovation as he arrived to address the Israeli Knesset on Monday.

Sustained applause and blaring trumpets greeted Trump. The chamber was crowded with lawmakers but also U.S. officials -- including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense.

Trump met beforehand with the families of some of the hostages once held by Hamas in Gaza.

Later on Monday, he was set to fly to Egypt to participate in a summit with world leaders.

Hamas released all 20 of the last living hostages on Monday, the Israeli military said.

It is part of a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war between Israel and Hamas in the devastated Gaza Strip.

Palestinians awaited the release of hundreds of prisoners held by Israel.

A surge of humanitarian aid was expected into famine-stricken Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of people have been left homeless.

While major questions remain about the future of Hamas and Gaza, the exchange of hostages and prisoners marked a key step toward ending the deadliest war ever between Israel and the militant group.
