“He could get there,” said Trump. “But, you know, everything goes through the White House. He needs money through the White House. He needs a lot.

“He will behave. He will behave. It is better to behave. Otherwise, he will have big problems.”

Relying a previous question posed by journalists, Netanyahu said: “What is serious” is if there can be a two -state solution to Gaza which does not constitute an existential threat to the Israeli people.

“Listen, there is enough madness in the world, but I guess it never ends,” he said. “After October 7, people said the Palestinians had a state of the state, Hamas in Gaza, and looked at what they had done. They did not build it. They built two bunkers in Nazi Terroris tunnels, the Holocaust.”

“So people are not likely to say, let’s give them another state. It will be a platform to destroy Israel,” he added. “We are going to develop a peace with our Palestinian neighbors, those who do not want to destroy us, and we will develop a peace in which our security, the sovereign power of security, always remains in our hands.”
