Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a special thank you to Trump for his unwavering support in Israel’s fight against Hamas and “Iran’s terror axis.” A transcript follows his address, courtesy of the Israel Government Press Office:
Transcript:
“I want to thank President Trump for his unwavering support for Israel.
During my recent visit to Washington, I said that Donald Trump is the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House.
And President Trump shows that friendship each and every day.
He has shown it through his visionary plan for Gaza, this is a plan which Israel fully supports.
He’s shown it by sending us all the munitions that were being held up. This way he is giving Israel the tools we need to finish the job against Iran’s terror axis.
And he has shown it by fully backing Israel and putting the pressure to release the hostages where it truly belongs – on Hamas.
Israel has accepted President Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff’s plan to extend the temporary ceasefire by 50 days, during that time we can discuss the conditions for a permanent ceasefire that will end the war in Gaza.
In Witkoff’s plan, half of the hostages would be released right away and the remaining half would be released if we reach an agreement on a permanent ceasefire.
Again, Israel has accepted this plan. I accepted this plan. But so far, Hamas has rejected it.
Hamas had also put forward positions for a permanent ceasefire that are totally unacceptable.
Israel has decided to stop letting goods and supplies into Gaza, something we’ve done for the past 42 days. We’ve done that because Hamas steals the supplies and prevents the people of Gaza from getting them.
It uses these supplies to finance its terror machine, which is aimed directly at Israel and our civilians – and this we cannot accept.
We will take further steps if Hamas continues to hold our hostages. And throughout this, Israel knows that America and President Trump have our back.
Thank you again, President Trump!
Thank you for all you are doing to return our hostages, bolster our security and provide a future of prosperity and peace for all the peoples of the Middle East.”

Israel must conquer and annex Gaza, and Israel must ban Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, etc. because of Islam’s terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran.
Islam, a Criminal Enterprise, and its Muslims fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. Under Islamic Law, Muslims are required to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this Muslim DUTY is a Crime against Allah; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15 and more).

Okay, but now that Trump has greenlighted him, when is he going to declare an end to the ceasefire and resume the assaults on Hamas, which has been violating it every step of the way?

Smart move, by Netanyahu! After the Zelinsky debacle in the Oval Office, it’s a good idea to shout THANK YOU from the rooftops every time Trump so much as nods in your direction!
Westman says
With Egypt’s tanks at the border, Erdogan dreaming of heading a new Caliphate, Iran wishing to be in the history books by ending Israel, Hamas terrorist attacks, and ignorant students crying for the elimination of Israel, the renewed US support for Israel is good news to a battle-weary military.
This renewed support may be the very thing that stops a regional war from beginning. The US moving away from NATO would be another as it would allow the US to counter any threats to Israel from former NATO members, including Turkey.
Westman says
PS – Watching the EU wake up to the reality of their own military($$$) and Ursula VDL clutch her pearls is amusing video. It should help keep them distracted from Israel, falsely thinking Russia is a real threat while Islam munches on them from the inside.
It’s unlikely the EU can hold itself together if it chooses to prolong the Ukraine War. If some EU states decide to put troops on the ground, they will likely turn the fantasy of Russian threat into a reality.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ,rightly, acknowledges that President Trump is a friend of the State of Israel ,as observed by him providing the means for Israel to defend herself against the wicked actions of the hostile anti-Israel tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Those despots in power in Iran are so very evil the they supply deadly weapons to their jihad stooges jihad entities as Hamas and Hezbollah
President Trump well understands the wisdom of the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe who in had in a speech declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Walter Sieruk says
Iran’s “mullah regime” of Iran has become so terribly arrogant and so viciously hostile as to engages murderous and destructive missile and drone attacks into the State of Israel.
That belligerent Islamic tyranny of Iran calls Israel “The little Satan and the US “The great Satan ” and provides murderous weapons to its proxy jihad terror entities .such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
With good reason does President Trump military provisions to Israel to defend herself against those vicious forces of so much horrendous evil.

That is beyond marvelous that we now have the tools and the green light from Trump but does Bibi have the kahoonas to pull the trigger?
