Returning home from an amazing trip to Israel to celebrate and implement President Trump's historic peace agreement. This is a great moment for our country and the world.

I'm grateful to Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Herzog, and the Israeli government for hosting so many productive conversations. I'm also grateful to the many Muslim nations working to support the peace. And I'm particularly proud of the American military leaders working to mediate and supervise this peace process. President Trump has been clear: while there will be no American boots on the ground in Gaza, American leadership was necessary to achieve this peace and it will be necessary to supervise it.

I'm thankful to the many Israeli security staff, many of whom didn't even speak English, for working with the secret service to make the visit possible.

And while it was a busy trip, I was able to make two personal stops. First, the City of David is one of the archaeological marvels of the world, and though it's still mostly closed to the public, they plan to open it soon. It's amazing to realize to you are walking a path that Christ himself would have walked 2,000 years ago. The people who've worked to excavate and preserve this place are amazing human beings, and I'm grateful to them, particularly my gracious tour guides! Second, I already posted about the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, but it's worth saying again: it's the most amazing place I've ever been.

I encourage all of you to continue praying for peace!
