Trump Netanyahu Meet: Netanyahu Awards Trump With Israel Prize As Gaza Plan Intensifies

In a high-profile meeting at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a joint vision for Gaza and the West Bank, emphasizing disarmament, accountability, and strength-based diplomacy. President Trump made clear that Hamas would be given a short timeframe to disarm, warning that failure to do so would carry serious consequences. Top U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were named to oversee the process from the American side. During the meeting, Prime Minister Netanyahu praised Trump as the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. In a historic move, Israel announced it will award the Israel Prize to a non-Israeli for the first time in nearly 80 years—honoring President Trump for his contributions to Israel and the Jewish people. The meeting underscored a united front between the two nations as negotiations continue over Gaza’s future and broader regional stability.
