Trump and Netanyahu Present United Front During Meeting

“Look, he’s a wartime prime minister. He’s done a phenomenal job. He’s taken Israel through a very dangerous period of trauma. Israel with other people might not exist right now, if you want to know the truth. “Will the reconstruction of Gaza will begin even before Hamas is disarmed?” “I think it’s going to begin pretty soon here.” “Well, President Trump has broken so many conventions to the surprise of people. And then they figure out, oh, well, maybe he was right after all. So we decided to break a convention, too, or create a new one. And that is to award the Israel Prize, which in almost our 80 years, we’ve never awarded it to a non-Israeli. And we’re going to award it this year to President Trump. This was announced formally over lunch by our minister of education, who is responsible for the Israel Prize. It’s going to be awarded to President Donald J. Trump for his tremendous contributions to Israel and the Jewish people.”
