Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Donald Trump as “the greatest friend” Israel ever had in White House, thanking the U.S. president for helping in the release of all Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Netanyahu was addressing the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, with Trump present, ahead of a Gaza peace summit in Egypt later Monday.
“Donald Trump is the greatest friend that the state of Israel has ever had in the White House. No American president has ever done more for Israel,” he said, before Trump’s address to lawmakers.
Netanyahu also praised Israel’s soldiers, saying the country had “achieved amazing victories over Hamas.”
He added Israel could pursue new “peace treaties” with Arab and Muslim countries in the Middle East and beyond.
“Under your leadership, we can forge new peace treaties with Arab countries in the region and Muslim countries beyond the region,” Netanyahu said, adding that “no one wants peace more than the people of Israel.”
