Israel to award Trump Presidential Medal of Honor

Israeli President Isaac Herzog will award U.S. President Donald Trump Israel’s highest civilian honor for brokering the ceasefire and hostage-release agreement in Gaza, and for his longstanding support for Israel.

The president’s office said that Trump will receive the medal in the coming months, at a time and place to be determined.

It was noted that Trump deserves the honor “in recognition of his role in achieving a historic agreement advancing the release of the hostages and an end to the war."

"The award also notes President Trump’s steadfast and unwavering support for the State of Israel, his unique contribution to Israel’s security and the well-being of its citizens, and his commitment to leading the entire region toward an era of peace and cooperation,” the statement reads.
