In a statement, Donald Trump said, "We are on the same side with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on all issues," while indicating his insistence on the project of exiling people in Gaza.
US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made evaluations regarding the agenda to the press during their meeting in the Oval Office.
"WE DISCUSSED ISSUES RELATED TO IRAN"
Trump stated that they discussed the Iran issue comprehensively, saying, "Today, frankly, we discussed issues related to Iran. We are having direct talks with Iran, which are currently ongoing, and discussions will continue on Saturday. I think everyone agrees that making a deal would be preferable. I hope these talks will be successful."
Referring to the direct talks with Iran that will continue over the weekend, Trump said, "We are talking directly with Iran. Perhaps a great deal will be made. This would be really great for Iran, I can say that. We will meet at the highest level on Saturday and see how it turns out."
"IF A DEAL CANNOT BE REACHED, IT WILL BE A VERY BAD DAY FOR IRAN"
Emphasizing that the talks with Iran are not taking place through other countries, Trump stated, "If the talks fail, I regret to say that Iran will be in great danger. They cannot acquire nuclear weapons."
Trump indicated that if a deal cannot be reached, "it will be a very bad day for Iran," adding that the new agreement would be somewhat different but much stronger than the previous one.
INSISTENT ON THE GAZA EXILE PLAN
Stating that the Gaza Strip is an incredibly important piece of "real estate," Trump said, "I think this is something we should be involved in. Having a peacekeeping force in Gaza by the US would be a good thing."
The US President noted that "Palestinians could be sent to other countries, and there are countries willing to accept them," adding, "This would create a free area. It would be a place where people wouldn't die every day. It is actually a very strange place, but now no one wants to live there. There is Hamas, there are many problems, and the death rate is incredibly high. I don't understand why Israel left it."
Claiming that Israel gave up its "seaside property" for peace but it did not work, Trump stated, "Israel should never have given up Gaza. Now it is one of the most dangerous places in the world. Gaza is a death trap."
"TURKEY IS A COUNTRY WITH GREAT RELATIONS WITH THE US"
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said they also discussed the situation in Syria with Trump.
Netanyahu stated, "We discussed the situation in Syria as well. We have deteriorating neighborly relations with Turkey. We do not want Syria to be used as a base for attacks on Israel by anyone, including Turkey. Turkey is a country with great relations with the US. President Trump has a relationship with the Turkish leader (President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan). We discussed how we can prevent this conflict in various ways."
"WE ARE WORKING ON A NEW DEAL"
Netanyahu noted that one of the most important topics they discussed with US President Trump was prisoners, stating that they are working on a new deal for their release.
Netanyahu indicated that the agreement also aims to eliminate Hamas's presence in Gaza and to offer the people of Gaza the option to "go wherever they want."
"GAZANS ARE TRAPPED IN GAZA"
Netanyahu expressed that some countries are ready to accept Palestinians, stating that the people of Gaza cannot go anywhere and are "trapped" in Gaza.
Netanyahu said, "We did not lock them there. Is it a bad thing to offer people options? If Gazans want to leave, some countries are ready to take them. Rebuilding Gaza will take years. We need to offer people options. President Trump has a vision, and we are working on this vision with different countries. I hope we can give you good news."
"WE MUST PREVENT IRAN FROM ACQUIRING NUCLEAR WEAPONS"
Netanyahu reported that they also discussed Iran with Trump, emphasizing that they agree that Iran should not be able to acquire nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu stated that it would be good to achieve this through diplomatic means, saying, "But whatever happens, we must prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."
