President Donald Trump boarded Air Force One heading to Israel, signaling with a thumbs-up as he departed from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on October 12, 2025—the day he claimed to have helped resolve eight major conflicts worldwide. During a press briefing onboard, he asserted that he often intervenes to bring peace, emphasizing that his motives are driven by a desire to save lives, not for awards like the Nobel Peace Prize.
He shared that he is aware of rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan and plans to address the issue upon his return from the Middle East. Trump highlighted his record of swiftly ending prolonged conflicts, citing wars between India and Pakistan lasting decades that he claims he resolved in a day through strategic tariffs. “This will be my eighth war I’ve solved, and there’s a new one between Pakistan and Afghanistan now. I’ll handle that when I get back—I’m good at solving wars,” he said.
Reflecting on past successes, Trump recalled, “Think about India and Pakistan—wars that lasted 31, 32, or even 37 years, with millions killed. I managed to settle all of them in about a day. Pretty impressive, right?”
He also mentioned that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to him in 2024 for his role in ending conflicts, though he clarified he wasn’t motivated by the prize. “I saved millions of lives, and the Nobel committee recognized that, but I didn’t do it for the award—I did it to save lives.”
Trump credited economic measures such as tariffs for mediating conflicts. “In the case of India and Pakistan, I threatened massive tariffs—100%, 150%, even 200%. With those tariffs, I resolved that conflict in 24 hours. Without tariffs, there’s no way that would have happened,” he claimed.
Looking ahead, Trump will speak to the Israeli Knesset before traveling to Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh for a summit with world leaders aimed at ending the Gaza conflict. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to be part of the discussions, according to a senior Palestinian official.
In recent days, US envoy Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff addressed a rally in Tel Aviv, urging the release of hostages and an end to hostilities—a move that many Israelis viewed as hopeful. The US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey have been mediating a temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, including the release of hostages and prisoners.
A rally participant, Dalia Yosef, expressed hope and gratitude, saying, “After two years of waiting, we finally see progress. We’re happy for the families and hostages—they’re finally going home.”
