**Israeli Expectation for Trump’s Return to White House**
**Tel Aviv, Israel** – Many Israelis are eagerly awaiting the return of US President-elect Donald Trump to the White House on Monday, hoping for a future free from war and the release of hostages still held in Gaza. The recent release of three women hostages after 15 months in captivity by Hamas militants has brought a glimmer of hope to the region following a ceasefire agreement brokered by mediators from Qatar, the United States, and Egypt.
**Trump’s Role in Ceasefire**
Trump’s involvement in negotiations even before his official return to office has been significant. He claimed credit for the ceasefire deal that followed months of failed talks, offering a ray of hope to Israelis longing for peace. His presence in the negotiations has sparked optimism among the Israeli population, with anticipation building even before the ceasefire was announced.
**Support for Trump’s Return**
In Tel Aviv’s Sarona commercial district, a massive banner featuring the president-elect’s image has been a symbol of hope for many. The banner, depicting Trump with his fist raised in defiance, sends a powerful message demanding the release of hostages. The anticipation for his return was further fueled by Trump’s warning of dire consequences if the hostages were not released by his inauguration date.
**Hope for Change**
The Tel Aviv banner was a poignant initiative by the Tikva Forum, a group advocating for the immediate release of hostages and a shift in the Middle East dynamics. The members of this group have been steadfast in their support for Trump’s strong stance on Hamas and his commitment to bringing the hostages home.
As Trump prepares to resume his role as the President of the United States, Israelis and supporters worldwide are hopeful for a positive change in the region. The impact of Trump’s policies during his previous term, including the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem and landmark normalization deals with Arab countries, has set the stage for what many hope will be a new era of peace and stability in the Middle East.
