WASHINGTON: The White House highlighted what it described as a major foreign policy achievement in the Middle East, citing the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza and the creation of a new international mechanism to support post-war reconstruction.
Speaking at a White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president had helped secure the return of “the last remaining body of the hostages” from Gaza, calling it “a huge foreign policy feat for the president of the United States.”
Leavitt said the development was significant not only for Israel but also for broader regional stability. “This is a great news for the president, for the United States, for our allies and also for peace in the Middle East, ” she told reporters.
