1. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana

In his address to the Knesset, Trump urged lawmakers in the Israeli parliament to seize the chance for a broader regional peace before he traveled to Egypt to officially sign the peace deal. 

Prior to Trump’s speech, Amir Ohana, speaker of the Knesset, welcomed the president, calling him a “giant of Jewish history” akin to Cyrus the Great.

“Mr. President, you stand before the people of Israel not as another American president, but as a giant of Jewish history, one for whom we must look back, two-and-a-half millennia into the mists of time, to find a parallel, in Cyrus the Great,” said Ohana.

After praising his penchant for diplomacy, Ohana said he would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026, for which Trump received a nomination in 2020 for his efforts to broker the historic Abraham Accords.
