US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday evening that he is likely to visit Israel in the coming days, following his announcement of an agreement between Israel and Hamas to implement the first phase of his peace plan.

Trump added in a phone interview with Axios correspondent and CNN analyst Barak Ravid: “They want me to deliver a speech in the Knesset, and I will definitely do so if they want.”

The US president continued, saying: “It is a great day for Israel and the world. My call with Bibi (Netanyahu) was wonderful, he is very happy, and he deserves to be. It is a great achievement. The whole world has united to reach this agreement.”
