🚨Exclusive: Bank of Israel has officially commented and denied those allegations against Jared Kushner - “We have no info on such a matter.” Knowing the Bank of Israel, they never make public statements unless they firmly stand behind them. Every word is carefully weighed and thoroughly considered. Important to note: 1. The Bank of Israel is an independent, non-political institution. Bank of Israel’s Governor is Prof. Amir Yaron, who has criticized PM Netanyahu in the past over issues related to the Israeli economy. He speaks out whenever he thinks that something is wrong. 2. It is not technically possible for an individual to have a bank account at the Bank of Israel. 3. Netanyahu does not control the bank. 4. The BOI is subject to ongoing professional oversight.

Today, Stephen Hubbard is free and headed back home to his family.  Stephen is a proud American citizen, retired teacher, and U.S. Air Force veteran who loves our country. Now, he is on his way back to a family who loves him, a President who never gave up on him, and a nation that proudly welcomes him home. It was my honor to be with Stephen in St. Petersburg today before he departed for the United States. President Trump called Stephen to check on him and reaffirm his unwavering commitment to bringing all Americans wrongfully detained home. Stephen joins more than 110 Americans who @POTUS has freed since returning to office, including Robert Gilman, Ksenia Karelina, and Marc Fogel.  This release was not part of an exchange - and we extend our thanks to President Putin for releasing him on President Trump’s request. Thank you to @SecRubio, @JaredKushner, @CIADirector, Senior Director for Counterterrorism @SebGorka and the rest of the team for working tirelessly to achieve President Trump’s mission.  President Trump does not leave Americans behind and will continue fighting to bring them all home 🇺🇸.

Encouraging progress over the past several days. @SEPeaceMissions and I are grateful to @POTUS for his leadership and to our Ukrainian, European, and Russian counterparts for engaging constructively. There is still hard work ahead, but we have a real opportunity to move beyond this war and build a framework for lasting peace, security, and prosperity for generations to come.

In Oslo and St. Petersburg, @JaredKushner and I met with Russian, Ukrainian, and European leaders to advance President Trump’s mission to end the war. In St. Petersburg, we met with President Putin to build on the progress made in Oslo with President Zelenskyy, discuss a peace framework, and thank President Putin for releasing American citizen Stephen Hubbard to return home to his family. These discussions were constructive, and will continue with trilateral talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine at the technical level. While there is still important work left to do, President Trump remains committed to seeing this war end and achieving a comprehensive, durable peace that will provide security and prosperity for generations to come.

Thanks to President Trump, over 100 American hostages have returned home, and today, one more does the same. No Commander-in-Chief has rescued more Americans. That’s what America First means. 🇺🇸

The power of a simple idea, relentless tenacity, a big heart, and brilliant legislative execution. @altcap, what you’ve helped bring to life is an extraordinary gift to America for its 250th birthday, and for generations to come. And thank you to @elonmusk for an incredibly generous and historic gift to America’s children!

Together we must rediscover the American spirit.

October 13th marked one year since the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages were finally reunited with their families after 738 days in captivity. Witnessing those reunions was one of the most meaningful moments of my life, and one I will never forget. On this anniversary, we honor every hostage - those who returned home and those we tragically lost - and the extraordinary courage and resilience of their families. I am deeply grateful to @POTUS for his unwavering leadership and determination, @SecRubio for his steadfast support, @jaredkushner for his invaluable partnership throughout this effort, and our partners in Israel, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye for their tireless work to bring the hostages home. Their return was a testament to the power of diplomacy, perseverance, and our shared humanity. We will never forget their suffering, their sacrifice, or the importance of continuing our work toward lasting peace.

More than five centuries ago, the son of a wool weaver from Genoa sailed westward to widen the boundaries of the known world. Across a vast and punishing Atlantic, the voyage exhausted the patience of its crew, but never the conviction of its captain. Christopher Columbus kept going. Two hundred and fifty years after America’s founding, we still marvel at the restless spirit of discovery that revealed the New World to the Old. President Trump has defended Columbus against the radical left’s campaign to erase his legacy. Now, Columbus again stands where he belongs – within the great procession of figures who shaped our national story. Happy Columbus Day. Sail On.

One year ago today, on October 9, 2025, we reached an agreement on President Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza many believed impossible. After two years of devastating war, the agreement created a path to reunite hostage families with their loved ones, bring security to Israel, relieve the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza, and build a different future for the region. One year later, it’s remarkable how much has changed. The situation is far from perfect, but the progress is real, and the world is better for it. A look at the past year: ✅October 9, 2025: Hamas accepts President Trump’s 20-point peace plan, launching a ceasefire that has largely endured for a year. ✅October 12, 2025: Israeli forces complete first withdrawal to the agreed yellow line. ✅October 13, 2025: All 20 living Israeli hostages return home. Something many believed would never happen. ✅November 17, 2025: UN Security Council passes Resolution 2803, endorsing the peace plan and authorizing an international stabilization framework and the Board of Peace. ✅January 5, 2026: UN reports 100% of basic food needs being met in Gaza for the first time since 2023. ✅January 17, 2026: National Committee for the Administration of Gaza established, creating a Palestinian technocratic administration focused on restoring essential services and rebuilding Gaza. ✅January 26, 2026: Remains of the final deceased hostage returned. For the first time since 2014, no Israeli hostages, living or deceased, in Gaza. ✅February 19, 2026: The Board of Peace holds its inaugural meeting, hosted by Chairman President Trump. Landmark partnership with FIFA announced, including a $50 million commitment toward a football stadium, academy, and facilities for Gaza’s children, and billions of dollars in commitments for the people of Gaza. ✅May 2, 2026: UN reports that humanitarian aid entering Gaza had increased by 72% compared with before the ceasefire. ✅July 31, 2026: Hamas signs an actionable, step-by-step framework for decommissioning its weapons, developed with the support of Nickolay Mladenov and mediators from Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and the United States. Implementation remains a critical next step. ✅2026: Five nations commit forces toward the International Stabilization Force, with several more working on logistics for deployment this fall. ✅September 23, 2026: Board of Peace hosts an open meeting on the sidelines of UNGA releasing the next steps in the Gaza recovery plan. A year ago, so much of this seemed impossible. First, many doubted we could reach an agreement. Then came the harder question of whether the parties would honor their commitments. Over the past year, we have seen what can be achieved when people with profound differences find ways to work together toward a common objective. Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions and I are grateful to @POTUS Trump for his leadership, @VP, @SecRubio, the Board of Peace team, led by @TB, @nmladenov, @lightstonea, @AliShaathNCAG, Gen. Jasper Jeffers, Liran Tanchman, Yakir Gabay, Josh Greunbaum, Josh Halpern and many others, and our partners in Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Bahrain, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco and Israel. Special thanks to Sheikh Mohammed, Ali Al-Thwadi, Hakan Fidan, General Hasan, Bader Abdulhamdi, @mikeeisenberg, and @AmbDermer. I’m also grateful to the many talented people who have volunteered their time and energy because they believe that the horrors of October 7 and the suffering in Gaza must never happen again. There is still hard work ahead. Disarmament must be implemented, security established, essential services restored, and communities rebuilt. None of this will be easy. But we have a thoughtful plan, committed partners, and a path forward that did not exist a year ago. It’s worth recognizing how far we’ve come, even as we acknowledge how much remains to be done. Hopefully, the year ahead will bring even more progress, and a few more miracles.

The response to my post last week reinforced my instinct to put the facts out there, trust people to look at them fairly, and let them make up their own minds. I especially appreciated hearing from people who reconsidered things they had previously believed after seeing the facts. A recent article brought together many false claims and misperceptions about me that have accumulated and been repeated over the years. Rather than continue responding to them one at a time, I decided to address them all in one place, with supporting documents. For anyone interested in the facts: jaredkushner.com/posts/new-y… Now, back to work.

An incredible speech by @SecRubio with an iconic background.

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 innocent civilians in Israel. Among those slain were men, women, and children — including dozens of Americans. We will never forget this act of barbarism against an ally and recommit ourselves to the defense of civilization.

Governor Abbott today ordered the United States and Texas flags lowered to half-staff on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, in solidarity with the State of Israel and in honor of the men, women, and children murdered in the brutal October 7th terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas.

NEW -- Assistant Secretary of State @ASDylanJohnson tells @BreitbartNews that Secretary @SecRubio will deliver a huge address tomorrow in Athens, Greece, in front of the Acropolis focused on defending western civilization. JOHNSON: "Tomorrow evening, Secretary Rubio will deliver an address from the birthplace of Western civilization, where he will call upon Americans and Europeans alike to join together in a great renewal of the Western spirit - an inheritance stretching from Athens and Rome to Christendom to the founding of the American Republic. Against the backdrop of the Acropolis, Secretary Rubio will look to the history of ancient Greece as the first full expression of the qualities that would come to define the West: curiosity, courage, ambition, and a restless spirit of exploration and discovery of the unknown. He will warn that too much of our civilization has forgotten these essential qualities, and urge our allies across the West to join the United States in rejecting decline, defending our shared heritage, and confronting a new era of great-power competition together." Huge development on Rubio trip to Greece!

Israeli plumber who heroically subdued terrorist & grabbed the controls of plane came to @usembassyjlm & I gave him my autographed hat from @POTUS . Yaniv & Meital Hayoun inspired the world. He loves @realDonaldTrump & I'll post his message to @POTUS later. What a story!

Indian PM Modi tells Smit Machchhar, the Fly Dubai pilot that the "whole country" is praying for you & you saved the lives of so many people. "Indians save lives, not take lives", says PM Modi

I'll start from the end: I have joined @VineVenturesLP. I'm excited, a little emotional, and mostly grateful to continue living my life. This morning @BusinessInsider published an interview with me. Thank you to @meliarobin and @JamieHeller for listening and for telling my story with sensitivity and nuance. For many people, I'm Noa Argamani, who was rescued by the IDF after 246 days in Hamas’ captivity. That's part of me, and it always will be. But it's not all of me, and I'd like you to get to know me in my new role too. If you're building something, have an idea you can't stop thinking about or you’re in the Valley and looking to help the most ambitious founders in Israel succeed, I hope to be a bridge between the two ecosystems.

In New York, I joined @USAmbUN Mike Waltz, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, Israeli Foreign Minister @gidonsaar and Senior Advisor @lightstonea to reaffirm the historic U.S.-Morocco-Israel 2020 joint declaration, and start the next chapter of trilateral cooperation. None of this progress would be possible without President Trump’s visionary leadership. The spirit of the Abraham Accords continues to open doors once thought closed, and I’m proud to work with and be a part of this team to help build a future of security, prosperity, and integration across the region. ma.usembassy.gov/joint-state…

In a meeting yesterday in New York, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, agreed on significant steps to further strengthen Israel-Morocco relations. Including: 🕊️ Upgrading diplomatic missions to embassies 🕊️ Appointing ambassadors 🕊️ Expanding direct flights 🕊️ Advancing investment agreements This is a truly historic step, on the week we celebrate six years of the Abraham Accords, towards advancing relations between the two nations. 🇮🇱🇲🇦 timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…
