**Washington D.C.** – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a joint press conference with US President Donald Trump, outlined three unwavering goals for Gaza following over a year of conflict with Hamas: the complete destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities, the securing of all hostages, and ensuring Gaza can never again pose a threat to Israel. Netanyahu declared that Israel would achieve all three objectives.

The Prime Minister expressed strong support for the Gaza hostage deal, crediting President Trump’s leadership for its success. He heaped praise on Trump, referring to him as Israel’s “greatest friend ever in the White House,” highlighting the President’s past policies including leaving the Iran nuclear deal, brokering the Abraham Accords, and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Netanyahu further lauded Trump for releasing munitions withheld by the previous administration, ending sanctions against Israeli citizens, confronting antisemitism, halting funding for UNRWA, and renewing maximum pressure on Iran.

Netanyahu also voiced his support for President Trump’s proposed plan to take control of the Gaza Strip, calling it a “history-changing” idea deserving of attention. While declining to elaborate on the specifics, Netanyahu praised Trump’s “fresh ideas” and willingness to challenge conventional thinking. The Israeli Prime Minister repeatedly emphasized the deep respect the Israeli people hold for President Trump.
