After meeting with US President Trump at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "We are taking an important step to end the war. The first step is the release of hostages and the disarmament of Hamas."
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a critical meeting at the White House. After the summit on "Gaza," as Trump and Netanyahu faced the cameras, Trump announced that Netanyahu had accepted the 21-point plan, stating, "If Hamas accepts the Gaza Plan, all hostages will be released. If Hamas rejects the agreement, we will give full support to Israel."
NETANYAHU: WE ARE TAKING AN IMPORTANT STEP TO END THE WAR
Speaking after Trump, Netanyahu said, "We are taking an important step to end the war. I support Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza." Netanyahu stated that the first step to be taken is the release of hostages and the disarmament of Hamas.
Highlights from the Israeli Prime Minister's statements are as follows:
"From Jerusalem to Tehran, from the Golan Heights to Gaza, you have proven time and again what I have said many times. You are Israel's greatest friend seen at the White House.
We could never have reached this turning point without the sacrifices and courage of our incredibly brave soldiers. They fought like lions. They fought in the battle between civilization and barbarism. When our two countries stand shoulder to shoulder, we can achieve the impossible. A few months ago, in the Rising Lion and Midnight Hammer operations, we struck a blow to Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile program. You sent your planes to make the region safer.
"WE WANT TO PROMOTE PEACE"
We want to promote peace. Your plan is consistent for ending the war. Our plan is that all our hostages, both those alive and those who have lost their lives, will return home immediately. Hamas will lay down its arms. Gaza will be demilitarized. A security barrier will be established. There will be a peaceful civilian administration in Gaza. Hamas or the Palestinian Authority will not be involved.
"WE DID NOT START THIS MEANINGLESS WAR IN VAIN"
If Hamas accepts, they will withdraw and return our hostages within 72 hours. Then Gaza will be demilitarized. An international institution will be established here. This institution will have the obligation to provide assurance to the people. If the international body is successful, we will have permanently ended the war. Israel will continue to take steps in terms of disarmament and demilitarization.
In this way, I believe everyone will find the opportunity to carry out this process peacefully. We will strive to bring peace without shedding more blood. If Hamas says they accept first and then violates the agreement, I will end this myself. We can resolve this easily or through difficult means. We prefer the easy way. This issue needs to be resolved. We did not start this relentless war in vain. We did not sacrifice our best soldiers in vain. We have seen these massacres again and again because of Hamas.
"I BELIEVE THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY SHOULD NOT BE IN POWER"
I emphasized not to speak against the recognition of the Palestinian state at the UN. We believe there is a danger against Israel. I believe the Palestinian Authority should not be in power in Gaza. You mentioned what should happen during the transition period. We are really talking about a permanent transformation. We are talking about the removal of books that teach hatred against Jews, the end of hatred in the media, the annulment of International Criminal Court decisions, and many reforms.
If this miraculous transformation occurs, your plan can chart a realistic path in Gaza in the coming years. In this plan, it will not be Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, but people who believe in peace. Under your leadership, we can revive the Abraham Accords. We can include more Arab and Muslim countries in the process. There is an opportunity here. It will not be easy, of course, it will be a difficult task. But we will definitely succeed. We have envisioned possibilities that no one else could imagine.
"WE DO NOT FORGET THE HORROR OF OCTOBER 7"
You said, 'Do not forget October 7.' We do not forget the horror of October 7. We will do everything we can to prevent such events from happening again. Those who attack us will pay the price. Those who stand with us will ensure progress and security. It is also said in the Bible, 'Those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed.' What is happening is just that. We are nearing the end. We have done a lot to put an end to this curse. I thank your entire team. They have made efforts to bring Israel and Arab countries together. I told the Prime Minister of Qatar, 'Israel targeted not Qatar but terrorists.' Qatari citizens have also been affected by this process, of course. They were not our target. We appreciated President Trump's proposal. It is indeed a good idea to facilitate relations between Israel, Qatar, and the US through this body.
Under your leadership, Israel and the US can change the face of the Middle East. Our hostages will be released, Hamas will leave Gaza. Peace and prosperity will come for the peoples of our region."
