Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his trust on United States President Donald Trump. He said that he believes the plan presented by US President Donald Trump is the only plan that can work to enable a different future for the people of Gaza, Israel and the surrounding areas and termed the plan “right on the dot.”
What Did PM Netanyahu Say?
In his address at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Netanyahu said that he had a “great discussion” with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and discussed on how they can complete the change in the Middle East. He said that Israel’s “greatest friend” is in the White House and he and Trump see eye to eye on the main tasks that they want to achieve and are in the position to change the Middle East.
Netanyahu said, “We changed the Middle East. Now, comes President Trump and Secretary Rubio, who’s a great friend of Israel as well. I’ve seen him over the years and we had a great discussion today and we talked about how do we complete the change in the Middle East. We have the greatest friend of Israel in the White House now. We see eye to eye on the main tasks that we have to accomplish, and we’re in a position to change the Middle East and give Israel the kind of horizon, the kind of hope, the kind of security, and the kind of peace that would have been unimaginable, and in fact was unimaginable from the day of the founding of the State of Israel. We’ve had great victories in the past.”
“The most important one was the six-day war. But, the possibilities that loom today before us have never been before us before, have never been available to us as they are now and we intend to pursue them to the full. We see eye to eye with the US administration, President Trump and his administration, first of all, on accomplishing the immediate three goals that we have in Gaza: One is to achieve the release of all our hostages, the second, as I said, is to destroy Hamas, the third is to ensure that Gaza has a different future, that we don’t just go back, same old, same old, same old and then I have to say that President Trump has presented a bold new vision, and the only plan that I think can work to enable a different future for the people of Gaza, for the people of Israel, for the surrounding areas. Why not give Gazans a choice? Everybody said this is the largest open-air prison in the world, not because of us, we let people leave,” he added.
