United States President Donald Trump on Monday addressed the Israeli parliament, following a peace deal he brokered to end the war in Gaza.

Here are 10 key takeaways from his address:

1. Gaza agreement dawn of a new Middle East

Trump was of the view that peace in Gaza ushered in the dawn of a new Middle East, saying that it ended the “long and painful nightmare” for all parties involved.

2. Offer to Iran for a peace deal

The US president expressed hope for a peace deal with Iran, saying his administration was ready for any agreement with the country.

3. Plan to disarm Hamas

The US president stated that the entire region has endorsed his plan to disarm Hamas.

4. Call on other nations to join Abraham Accords

Trump expressed hope that other countries would join the Abraham Accords quickly after the Gaza peace deal.

5. Acknowledgement of US help to Israel in Gaza war

“Israel, with our help, has won all that they can by force of arm[s],” the US president said.

6. Call for a pardon for Israeli PM

Trump called for a pardon for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been accused of corruption.

7. Muslim nations’ role in peace efforts

Terming the Gaza deal a triumph, the US president thanked mediators from the Arab and Muslim world for their crucial role in the peace efforts.

8. Role in the rebuilding of Gaza

Trump said that he intended to be a partner in the effort to rebuild Gaza.

9. Israeli lawmaker interrupts Trump’s speech

A left-wing lawmaker was expelled after he interrupted the US president’s speech to the Israeli parliament.

10. Time to focus on Russia

Trump told his envoy Steve Witkoff that “we’ve got to get Russia done” following the implementation of the Gaza peace deal.

Chaos briefly erupted inside Israel’s Knesset on Monday when two lawmakers interrupted US President Donald Trump’s speech — shouting for Palestine’s recognition before being dragged out by security.

Hadash Party leader Ayman Odeh and fellow MP Ofer Cassif were removed from the chamber after holding up signs reading “Recognise Palestine!” during Trump’s address, which celebrated the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal.

As the pair stood holding their placards, the Knesset speaker banged the gavel and ordered: “Expel this Knesset member!”

Security officials quickly surrounded the protesters and escorted them out as other lawmakers stood and applauded their removal.

“That was very efficient,” Trump quipped, before smoothly continuing his remarks about his envoy, Steve Witkoff.

Outside, Odeh defended his protest on X (formerly Twitter): “They removed me just because I raised the simplest demand — to recognise a Palestinian state. There are two peoples here, and neither is going anywhere.”

Cassif echoed the sentiment, writing that true peace “will only come with the end of the occupation and apartheid and the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”

Trump, the first US president since 2008 to address Israel’s parliament, had hailed a “historic dawn for the Middle East” moments before the disruption — marking the Gaza ceasefire and a major exchange of prisoners between Israel and Hamas as part of the peace deal.

Global warming is crossing dangerous thresholds sooner than expected with the world’s coral reefs now in an almost irreversible die-off, marking what scientists on Monday described as the first “tipping point” in climate-driven ecosystem collapse.

The warning in the Global Tipping Points report by 160 researchers worldwide, which synthesises groundbreaking science to estimate points of no return, comes just weeks ahead of this year’s COP30 climate summit being held at the edge of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.

That same rainforest system is now at risk of collapsing once the average global temperature warms beyond just 1.5 degrees Celsius based on deforestation rates, the report said, revising down the estimated threshold for the Amazon.

Also of concern if temperatures keep rising is the threat of disruption to the major ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, which helps to ensure mild winters in northern Europe.

“Change is happening fast now, tragically, in parts of the climate, the biosphere,” said environmental scientist Tim Lenton at the University of Exeter, who is the lead author of the report.

Some positive signs

Lenton noted positive signs when it came to phasing out the fossil fuels most responsible for climate change. Renewables, for example, accounted for more electricity generation than coal this year for the first time, according to data from the nonprofit think tank Ember.

“Nobody wants to be just traumatised and disempowered,” Lenton said. “We still have some agency.”

The scientists implored countries at November’s COP30 to work toward bringing down climate-warming carbon emissions.

Scientists have been surprised by how quickly changes are unfolding in nature, with average global temperatures already having warmed by 1.3-1.4 degrees Celsius (2.3 to 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit) above the preindustrial average, according to data from U.N. and EU science agencies.

Warmest on record

The last two years were Earth’s warmest on record, with marine heatwaves that stressed 84% of the world’s reefs to the point of bleaching and, in some cases, death. Coral reefs sustain about a quarter of marine life.

For corals to recover, the world would need to drastically ramp up climate action to reverse temperatures back down to just 1 degree C above the preindustrial average, the scientists suggested.

“The new report makes clear that each year there is an increase in the scope and magnitude of the negative impacts of climate change,” said Pep Canadell, a senior scientist at Australia’s CSIRO Climate Science Centre.

The world is currently on track for about 3.1 degrees C of warming in this century, based on national policies.
