00:01All of the nations of the Middle East will soon be safer, stronger, greater, and more prosperous than ever before.

00:08Well, you gotta hand it to the guy.

00:10President Trump pulls off a peace deal in the Middle East and, at least for now, ends the fighting in Gaza.

00:16So, is that enough for a Nobel Peace Prize? Not so fast, says longtime Trump critic John Legend.

00:22He's made a step in the right direction. We all want to see peace in Gaza, in Israel.

00:31John Legend says he should win the Nobel Prize, but there are a few more things he needs to do.

00:37A so-called peace president would also have to stop declaring war on the American people.

00:44Stop sending the military into our cities.

00:48Stop sending ICE agents to torment immigrant communities.

00:54I disagree with a lot of the stuff that Trump does, but give him his due for this.

00:59I don't have to now say, oh yeah, but, I mean, he did something really big.

01:04Can we not give him tremendous credit for this, but say there are also other things that he doesn't do so well?

01:08To get the Nobel Peace Prize, you have to be committed to peace, not just in one region, but around the world.

01:11Whoever said that?

01:12Dunno. Figured it was implied, but one thing at a time.

01:15Israeli citizen Aliyah Cohen, who was held hostage in Gaza until his release in February, says it is a new day and a great day.

01:22We're so happy here, really so happy. Here in Israel, Trump is a really, really, really hero.

01:28God bless the United States of America, and God bless the Middle East. Thank you, everybody.

01:35So, well done, Mr. President.

01:38I want this peace prize for you so badly, and I'll be so proud of you.

01:45Huh. Not sure he means that.
