05.02.2025 12:33
Addressing around 200 reporters after an hour-long meeting with US President Donald Trump in the White House, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is "honored” to be the first foreign leader invited to the White House, reported from The Times of Israel
"You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” said Netanyahu, listing Trump’s policies toward Israel in his first term, including leaving the Iran nuclear deal, brokering the Abraham Accords, and moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
"You’ve picked up right where you left off,” he adds.
"Your leadership has brought hostages home,” says Netanyahu. He adds that Trump freed up munitions withheld by the previous administration, ended "unjust sanctions against Israeli citizens” — referring to sanctions on some settlers deemed extremist — "confronted antisemitism, stopped funding UNRWA, and renewed maximum pressure against Iran.”
All this has been done by Trump in just two weeks, he says. "Can you imagine where we’ll be in four years?”
"We have defeated some of America’s worst enemies. We took out terrorists that were wanted for decades for shedding rivers of American blood,” he said.
