The American claimed he has closed numerous deals before, but stated that"this has taken off like a rocket, and it did from the very beginning," while stating: "I've heard for years that this is the most important deal."
"It is the largest and most complex deal, and it is also the place that could lead to tremendous problems, like World War III. World War III would start in the Middle East, and that's not going to happen. In fact, we don't want it to start anywhere, but it's not going to happen. So I just wanted to thank you all," he said.

Shortly before the signing, Trump assured that the document detailsmany rules and regulations, and much more, it is very comprehensive, while He recalled that numerous agreements have been signed in the past in the Middle East related to Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
"What's not being said is that finally, after, I guess, 3,000 years - I've heard of 3,000 to 500 years - but whatever it is, it's a lot. But this was the only one. It was the biggest of them all, and frankly, I thought it was probably going to be the hardest, and maybe in many ways it was, but we had a lot of talent," he added.

Trump, who heaped praise on Al-Sisi, Al-Thani and Erdogan, said that the leaders behind him"are the greatest leaders, the most powerful, the richest."
"And this happened because they all came together and wanted to solve the situation in Gaza. They wanted to solve the whole thing. It got to a point where it was crazy. And once they got together and we started to talk, everything went well", he assured.
