Netanyahu Praises Trump as Israel’s Greatest Ally Amid Hostage Release
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed unwavering support for former President Donald Trump, highlighting his significant contributions to Israel’s security and diplomatic efforts. This commendation coincides with the recent release of the last living hostages held by Hamas under a new peace agreement.
Netanyahu’s High Praise for Trump
In a recent statement, Netanyahu referred to Trump as "the greatest friend” Israel has ever had. His remarks came shortly after Hamas released the final group of 20 hostages.
Key Highlights from Netanyahu’s Statement
- Trump’s Impact on U.S.-Israel Relations: "No American president has ever done more for Israel. It ain’t even close," Netanyahu stated, underscoring Trump’s influential role in U.S.-Israel relations.
- Support on International Platforms: Netanyahu credited Trump for his staunch defense of Israel at the United Nations and his recognition of Israel’s rights in contested areas like the West Bank.
- Withdrawal from the Iran Deal: Trump’s exit from the "disastrous" Iran nuclear agreement also garnered praise from the Israeli leader.
Furthermore, Netanyahu lauded Trump for military actions that aimed to bolster the region’s security. He noted, “Thank you for supporting Operation Rising Lion and for your bold decision to launch Operation Midnight Hammer,” referring to a series of assaults on Iranian nuclear sites.
Historic Nomination for the Israel Prize
In a significant honor, Netanyahu has nominated Trump for the Israel Prize, a prestigious accolade reserved for individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the state. If awarded, Trump would be the first non-Israeli recipient of this esteemed prize.
Trump’s Israel Peace Plan: A Vision for the Region
The Israeli Prime Minister also applauded Trump’s proposed peace plan for Gaza, describing it as:
- A Blueprint for Peace: “A proposal that ends the war by achieving all our objectives.”
- A Gateway to Expansion: It opens the door to broader peace efforts both regionally and globally.
Netanyahu stressed the importance of remembering the tragic events of October 7, when Hamas committed brutal acts against civilians. He stated, "Our heroic soldiers fought like lions… but the price of these victories have been heavy," referencing the loss of nearly 2,000 Israeli soldiers.
Key Points on the Gaza Conflict
