Before boarding his flight, Netanyahu emphasized the importance of the meeting, stating:

“I am now heading to Washington for a very important meeting with President Trump.The fact that this will be his first meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration holds great significance for the State of Israel.”

“First and foremost, it reflects the strength of the alliance between Israel and the United States. Secondly, it highlights the depth of our bond—a bond that has already yielded great achievements for Israel and the region, including the historic peace agreements between Israel and four Arab states—the Abraham Accords, led by President Trump.”

“I believe that in our meetings, we will also discuss the critical issues before us—the defeat of Hamas, the return of all our hostages, and confronting the Iranian axis in all its forms—an axis that threatens not only Israel’s security but also the Middle East and the entire world.”

“The decisions we have made during the war, combined with the heroism of IDF soldiers, have already transformed the Middle East beyond recognition. I believe that through intensive work with President Trump, we can push these changes even further for the better.”

“We have the opportunity to strengthen Israel’s security, expand the circle of peace, and usher in an era of prosperity, security, and peace through strength. The strength of our soldiers, the resilience of our citizens, the power of Israel, and the unwavering alliance between Israel and the United States will be the foundation of this new era,” he concluded.

Netanyahu will stay at the Blair House, the official US President’s guest house. This is a notably important gift from Trump to Netanyahu.

The most important meeting, however, will be between Netanyahu and Trump on Tuesday. Netanyahu will try to convince Trump to bring the “hell’ that he promised in order to secure a second phase of the deal.

Sources who spoke with Trump’s Middle East Envoy, Steve Witkoff, got the impression that Trump wants to continue the hostage deal. However, Netanyahu will insist that Trump brings “hell” in order to get a better deal out of the second phase, a deal which removes Hamas from governing the Gaza strip.

They will also discuss Iran, normalization with Saudi Arabia, and other topics that Netanyahu mentioned in his statements.

Netanyahu is accompanied by Minister Ron Dermer, Coordinator for the Hostages and the Missing Brig.-Gen. (Res.) Gal Hirsch and his foreign policy adviser Ophir Falk.

blah, blah,, blah…. He loves to talk and boast about how great a leader he is; but after 2000 dead Israelis and hundreds of murdering terrorists released to freedom in exchange for a few hostages, maybe he should stop talking so much and just do his job. (or be replaced by someone who will)

Hitech & Israeli elites are salivating for Saudi money. Expect complete capitulation with Trump’s approval.
Regular Israel has not & will not benefit from Abraham Accords – an isolated democracy cannot deal with 100s of millions in a medieval religious tyrannical.
Trump will not hit Iran – he has said as much. IDF weakened Iran which has restored the sunni caliphate – Saudi, IDUS, Al Quaeda

Prez Trump should have brought down “Hell” on Palestinians and their Hamas because of the *Americans* who were taken hostage and/or killed by Hamas. This is so regardless of what the Palestinians did to israelis.
