Fox News interrupted its usual broadcast to report that Ivanka Trump made a speech at a rally held in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. The First Daughter addressed a large crowd of Israelis who were gathered to mark the ceasefire agreement that went into effect on Friday. The terms of the agreement require the return of all living hostages in Gaza, estimated at around 20, and the remains of approximately 28 deceased hostages within 72 hours.
Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband, was involved in brokering the agreement and also spoke at the rally. President Trump is expected to visit Israel on Monday for a brief celebratory visit. The ceasefire comes two years after an attack by Hamas at a music festival that resulted in the death of about 1,200 people and the hostage-taking of over 240 individuals. The United Nations has labeled Israel’s response as a genocide against the Palestinian population.
During the rally, Ivanka expressed admiration for the strength and resilience of the people she had met over the past two years. She conveyed the President’s message of solidarity and support for the hostages and their families. Ivanka emphasized the importance of the hostages’ return as a symbol of faith, courage, and shared humanity.
Weekly demonstrations at Hostages Square have been ongoing since the initial attacks, featuring speeches from relatives of captives, released prisoners, and performances by Israeli artists. The Trump administration has been advocating for the President to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, following a recent statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledging Trump’s efforts in resolving long-standing crises.
