Benjamin Netanyahu said during his visit to the White House that both he and Donald Trump are aligned in their thoughts on Iran.
“That’s the same Iran that tried to kill us both,” says the Israeli leader.
“They tried to kill you, Mr President. They tried through their proxy to kill me.
“We’re both committed to rolling back Iran’s aggression in the region and ensuring that Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.”
Trump: Everybody I’ve spoken to loves idea of US owning Gaza
Journalists at the press conference asked Donald Trump about his earlier comments suggesting the US could take control of Gaza.
The US president is asked what authority would allow him to take over a sovereign territory.
Trump says he sees “a long term ownership position” which will bring stability to that area of the Middle East.
“This was not a decision made lightly,” he says.
Trump says the US would take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
He says it could turn the territory into “the Riviera of the Middle East” in which the “world’s people”- including Palestinians – would live.
“We’ll make sure that it’s done world class,” he says. “It’ll be wonderful for the people – Palestinians, Palestinians mostly, we’re talking about.
“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs.”
He continues: “I’ve studied it. I’ve studied this very closely over a lot of months, and I’ve seen it from every different angle.”
