US President Donald Trump arrived in Israel on Monday aboard Air Force One, marking a high-profile visit coinciding with the return of the first group of Israeli hostages freed from captivity in Gaza after nearly two years in detention.
The American leader was received with full state honours at Ben Gurion International Airport, where he was welcomed on a red carpet by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
Trump’s visit comes as a significant moment in US-Israel relations and follows weeks of diplomatic coordination involving Washington, Jerusalem, and regional partners to secure the hostages’ release.
Details surrounding the number of returnees and the circumstances of their release remain limited, but Israeli officials described the development as a “turning point” after prolonged negotiations.
The White House has yet to issue a formal statement on whether President Trump’s visit will include meetings with families of the freed captives or additional peace and security discussions with Israeli leaders.
