U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about his foreign policy in his State of the Union address, saying: "I ended eight wars: Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India - almost a nuclear war - Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Congo and Rwanda, and of course the war in Gaza." Trump also addressed the negotiations between Israel and Hamas: "Every hostage, both the living and the dead, has been returned home. No one thought this was possible. Believe it or not, Hamas worked together with Israel, and they dug and dug, dug."
