Trump is joking about Norway at the Gaza Summit in Cairo: 'Ah, Norway, Aye Aye Aye! What happened? '
US President Donald Trump took a light-hearted stab in Norway on Monday (October 13) during his remarks during the Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh. The gathering was the signing of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, an agreement with Trump’s involvement. “We have Norway. Oh, Norway, Aye Aye! Norway, what happened? Norway, what happened? ‘ Trump said and referred to the Norwegian representative at the conference. The playful remark snapped through the Norwegian Nobel Committee, shortly after the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded his prestigious Peace Prize to a Venezuelan opposition leader, which effectively bypassed Trump. “Where are Norway? I don’t think he wants to stand. Oh, he’s back there, ‘Trump added and gesture to the Norwegian delegate sitting in the audience. Historical Peace Agreement amid light -hearted moments, while a large part of the summit focused on the historical ceasefire and the reconstruction of Gaza, Trump’s humor has a rare moment of light heart in the midst of diplomacy with high importance. The US president has praised the participating countries for their cooperation to achieve “peace in the Middle East”. Trump comes “tremendous day” for US President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, co-chair of a landmark summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, where a ceasefire was signed by the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey as a sponsor of the agreement. “Together we reached what everyone said was impossible. In the end, we had peace in the midst,” Trump said. “It’s a huge day for the world, it’s a huge day for the Middle East.” El-Sisi reflects the sentiment and calls the Gaza agreement a ‘historic day’ that opens ‘a new era of peace and stability’ in the region and the foundation lies for a two-state solution. He added that Egypt will host a conference on Gaza reconstruction. Hostage and prisoner exchange as part of the ceasefire released Hamas the last 20 survivor hostages in Gaza, ending two years of captivity. In return, Israel freed 1,968 mostly Palestinian prisoners. Hamas described the release as “an achievement that is a bright national milestone in our constant struggle for freedom and liberation.” Israel confirmed the safe return of all living hostages with posts on X and said, ‘Welcome home’. According to the agreement, Hamas is also expected to return the bodies of 27 deceased hostages and a soldier who died in 2014. On Monday, the remains of four Israeli hostages were handed over to the Red Cross. Trump speaks earlier in the day in Israel, Trump visited Israel and addressed lawmakers in the Knesset. Netanyahu calls him “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.” Trump praised the release of the hostages as an ‘incredible victory for Israel and the world’, and the Arab and Muslim mediators credit for Hamas. He urged Palestinians to “abandon the path of terror” and promised that the United States would “forget” the attacks on October 7. “For so many families in this country, it’s been years since you’ve known a single day of true peace,” he said. “Not only for Israelites, but also for Palestinians and for many others, the long and painful nightmare is finally over.”
