JERUSALEM, Israel – In what was described as a “historic day,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump for the sixth time since Trump took office in January. They talked about Iran and Hamas, and agreed that they’re on the same page most of the time.
After their meeting in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, the president indicated there was very little difference in where he and Netanyahu stand on issues and “where they want to go.” Netanyahu agreed.
“I think we have a partnership, if I can quote you, ‘second to none,'” Netanyahu stated. “I think it’s allowed us to do enormous things. He’s achieved remarkable things in the Middle East because we’ve worked together. We talk about our ideas. Sometimes we have different ideas, but we work it out. And most of the time we see eye to eye.”
As reports continue to emerge about Iran rebuilding its missile arsenal, Trump suggested that another strike on Iran could be on the agenda.
“I hope they’re not trying to build up again because if they are, we’re going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that buildup,” the president said.
Before their meeting, Trump told reporters that he would back another Israeli strike against Iran if necessary, but he later added that he wouldn’t say they are close to another war with Iran.
He remarked, “Iran may be behaving badly. It hasn’t been confirmed, but if it’s confirmed, look: they know the consequences. You know, consequences will be very powerful, maybe more powerful than the last time.”
Closer to Israel, Hamas is long past its agreed-upon deadline to disarm in Gaza. President Trump said the consequences will be “horrible” if they don’t give up their weapons.
