this is the end of the age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of god this is the historic dawn of a new middle east that's where u.s president Donald trump addressed Israel's parliament earlier today he received a standing ovation in the Knesset following the release of all hostages and hundreds of prisoners by Israel and Hamas. But his speech was not without controversy. The CBC's Willie Lowry reports from Washington. This was really a classic Trump speech, long, meandering, and at times straying from the message at hand. But at its core, it was about two things.

First, praising Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He even joked that Netanyahu should receive a pardon for the corruption charges he's facing. This was met with a mixed reaction from Israeli lawmakers, but Trump really tried to focus on the future and stressed that this deal was only possible because of buy-in from neighboring Arab countries and other key players. The immediate next step is this peace summit in Sharma al-Shake. Dozens of world leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, will be present. And this summit is all about keeping the momentum going and to help ensure that they can get it beyond the hostage release and ceasefire deal to something more durable and permanent.

But questions around the governance of Gaza and, of course, its reconstruction, continue to swirl. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. Trump left Israel and has now landed in Egypt where he will meet with world leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney. Trump is co-hosting a peace summit that seeks to build on the ceasefire in Gaza.

Tom Perry reports. The summit has set a bold agenda to end the war in Gaza, enhance efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East and usher in a new era of regional security and stability. For all that, though, the summit itself will be brief. Donald Trump is set to return to the U.S. today after just a few hours on the ground.

Nonetheless, leaders from the Middle East and around the world have flown in for the meeting, including UK Prime Minister Kier Starrmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Prime Minister Mark Carney from Canada. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is also set to attend. Trump invited Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take part, but in the end, Netanyahu declined. What comes out of the summit is yet to be determined, but Trump's peace plan calls for a new governing structure for Gaza,

an international stabilization force to restore order, and eventually for the territory to be rebuilt from the rubble. Tom Perry, CBC News, Cairo.

The World Health Organization is calling for antibiotics to be used more responsibly. It says one in six laboratory confirmed bacterial infections are now resistant to antibiotics.

And that means resistance is outpacing modern medicine. The WHO says a big part of the problem is humans misusing and overusing antibiotics to control infections. The Toronto Blue Jays lost the first game of their American League championship series last night. And that will do it. The Mariners come into the Rogers Center and they defeat the Blue Jays three to one to take game one here in this best of seven. Making for a disappointing night for fans of Canada's only Major League Baseball team, game two is back this afternoon in Toronto. The series will then shift to Seattle for the next three games beginning next Thursday. The winner of the series will play in the World Series.
