President Donald Trump’s closest inner circle, including Jared and Ivanka Kushner, are joining him for his historic trip to secure peace between Israel and Gaza.

The commander-in-chief arrived in Israel on Monday morning to address the Knesset and later attend a peace ceremony in Egypt with Middle Eastern leaders to commiserate the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Accompanying Trump on this landmark diplomatic mission are top members of his presidential cabinet and close personal inner circle.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who was instrumental in negotiating the Gaza peace plan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Trump compared Witkoff to former Nixon-era Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during his speech in the Knesset. Witkoff appeared emotional while accepting the president’s praise. 

‘Steve started this all by himself. I call him Henry Kissinger, who doesn’t leak — Steve doesn’t leak,’ Trump said in the Knesset. ‘Everybody loves him — on this side, on the other side — because he’s a great negotiator and a great guy.’

The president went to praise Rubio, who is regarded as one of the most effective members of his cabinet, as the ‘greatest secretary of state in history.’

‘Marco will go down — I mean this — as the greatest Secretary of State in the history of the United States. I believe that — I believe it.’

Trump was also accompanied by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and his loyal ‘ice maiden’ White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

The president’s top communication advisers were also seen with Trump on Air Force One, including White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Trump spokesperson Margo Martin.

Trump praised Ivanka during his speech in the Knesset by mentioning her conversation to Judaism. 

‘Let me also give a very special thanks to someone who truly loves Israel, in fact loves it so much that my daughter converted,’ the president said. 

‘Bibi, you do know this was not in the cards for me. She is so happy and he is so happy – at least I think they’re happy. If they’re not we have a big story,’ Trump joked while discussing her marriage to Jared.

‘No, they have a great marriage and they get along great. They’re best friends and have a very special relationship.’

While the president was speaking, a protest briefly broke out during Trump’s remarks as a Knesset member banged on his desk and began shouting. The activists were swiftly removed from the room.

Trump played it off swiftly by joking about how ‘efficient’ the security was in dealing with the rabble-rousers.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana invited Trump to address Israel’s main legislative body during his visit to oversee a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas that he brokered.

‘You, President Donald J. Trump, are a colossus,’ Ohana proclaimed as Trump sat next to him in the Knesset. ‘Thousands of years from now, the Jewish people will remember you.’
