Their remarks about the proposed ceasefire come just a day before President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Israel amid Hamas’ expected release of the hostages as agreed upon under the deal.

Ivanka, during her brief remarks, shared a message from her father, claiming, “He stands with you always.”

“And the president wanted me to share, as he has with so many of you personally, that he sees you, he hears you, he stands with you always. Always,” Ivanka Trump said, whose comment were met with cheers of “Thank you, Trump” from the crowd.

Witkoff kicked off the address, calling for “peace, unity and hope.”

He added that “miracles can happen — peace born not out of politics, but out of courage, the courage of those who refuse to give up hope.”

Kushner warned against a premature celebration of the hostages being released.

“We’re not going to celebrate tonight. We’re going to celebrate on Monday when phase one gets into conclusion,” Kushner said.
