Tue Dec 30 00:10:57 UTC 2025: Trump and Netanyahu Display Solidarity, Threaten Iran and Demand Hamas Disarmament

Mar-a-Lago, FL – In a show of unwavering support and mutual admiration, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday. The meeting focused on key issues in the Middle East, with both leaders delivering strong messages regarding Iran and Hamas.

President Trump issued a stern warning to Hamas, insisting the group must disarm and implying dire consequences if they refuse. He also reiterated that other countries have offered to “wipe them out” if the group refuses to give up its weapons. Despite continued Israeli ceasefire violations, Trump maintained that Israel is “100 percent” committed to the agreement.

Turning to Iran, Trump suggested further US military action is possible if Tehran rebuilds its nuclear program or missile capacity. He cited past US airstrikes as a reason for the current ceasefire in Gaza. When asked if the US would back an Israeli attack on Iran’s missile program, Trump said “If they will continue with the missiles, yes. The nuclear? Fast. OK? One will be: Yes, absolutely. The other is: We’ll do it immediately.”

Netanyahu, for his part, announced that Trump would receive the Israel Prize, highlighting the “overwhelming sentiment of Israelis” who appreciate Trump’s support. One area where Trump appeared to press Netanyahu was Syria. Trump said Netanyahu is “going to get along” with Syria, lauding Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.

While reports ahead of the meeting suggested a possible rift between the two leaders, their public display indicated otherwise. Trump called Netanyahu a “hero” and assured him of continued US support, while Netanyahu lauded Trump’s efforts to help Israel. The meeting underscored the strong alliance between the US and Israel and signaled a continued hardline approach towards Iran and Hamas.
