U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that "everyone is happy" as he touted a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that he said would hold.

Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One as he arrived in Israel on Monday to celebrate the U.S.-brokered ceasefire and hostage deal, an agreement that he said had effectively ended the war and opened the door to building a durable peace in the Middle East.

As he disembarked from Air Force One, a convoy of vehicles carried into Israel the first hostages released by Hamas as part of the deal.
