Netanyahu Hails Meeting With Trump And His Alliance With US as Gaza Disarmament Reaches Critical Point

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlighted the strength of the U.S.–Israel alliance, praising President Donald Trump for unwavering American support as Israel emerged from what he described as a “seven-front war” stronger than ever. Netanyahu said Gaza can only move toward a new government if Hamas is completely disarmed, warning that no legitimate leadership can exist while terror groups remain armed. He stressed that Hamas must be dismantled — not negotiated with — and argued that the people of Gaza ultimately want freedom from militant rule. He also tied the fight against terrorism and antisemitism to lessons from history, warning that hatred begins with Jews but ultimately threatens all free societies.
