Netanyahu stated that the Israeli and American sides would discuss key issues, including “Hamas, the return of hostages, and the Iranian axis, which threatens the entire world.”

 

In his remarks, Netanyahu noted that this would be Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader in his second term, emphasizing the strength of the Israeli-American alliance and the personal bond between the two leaders, which has brought significant results for Israel and the Middle East.
