Trump claims Gaza ended
US President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly that “The war in Gaza is over,” and he said his administration managed to end the war in the Gaza Strip. Trump said about 30 countries joined the sector’s “Peace Council,” which he leads, and he announced the creation of the “Peace Council” to oversee arrangements related to Gaza. Trump also framed his UN remarks as part of a broader record, saying his administration helped end eight wars and conflicts since taking office.
Trump said he would strive to end the Ukraine conflict as quickly as possible, and he affirmed his determination to continue efforts to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump presented his administration’s moves as decisive interventions aimed at reducing conflicts and enhancing security and stability on the international stage.
UNGA backdrop and Iran
President Donald Trump addressed the UN General Assembly as the world grappled with years of conflict in Ukraine, Iran, Gaza, Sudan, Yemen and Lebanon, with no relief in sight. Trump’s speech sought to justify his war with Iran, and he told the global community, “I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before,” according to the account of his remarks. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian struck a defiant note as he boarded a plane from Tehran to New York for the General Assembly, accusing the U.S. of doing “everything they can to block every possible route in order to force our nation and our people to surrender.”
Pezeshkian added that Iran is wary of another round of talks, having twice been attacked by the U.S. and Israel during active negotiations. The Gulf Cooperation Council called for Iran and its allied groups to cease their attacks on Arab Gulf states and allow free transit through two crucial maritime checkpoints, with Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi saying disruptions have triggered “worldwide fallout.”
Gaza peace claims meet scrutiny
The Times of Israel reported that Trump hosted a meeting with senior representatives of 12 Middle Eastern countries on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, and it said the White House described the meeting as with the Gulf Cooperation Council. Trump told reporters at the beginning of the meeting that there was “a lot of momentum” for a deal with Iran, and he said “That’s what we are hearing from everybody,” while also thanking leaders around the table for partnership in securing a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas last year. The Times of Israel also reported that French President Emanuel Macron claimed at the UN General Assembly that “Hamas has never been active in the West Bank,” prompting pushback in Israel.
“Hamas has never been active in the West Bank.”
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich responded by writing that “President Macron is lying,” and he cited the murder of Netanel Shukrun by a Hamas terrorist. In parallel, Al Jazeera said Trump claimed he helped end the war in Gaza, bring home all remaining hostages, and settle eight wars since taking office, as his UN speech was framed as a bid to justify his record as a peacemaker.
