With a “Now I’m honored. Come on in, come on in,” former US president Donald Trump greets Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara warmly at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
“We’ve missed you,” says Sara as she and Trump exchange kisses.
“It was the greatest dinner I’ve ever had,” says Trump to Netanyahu, perhaps referencing a previous dinner the two shared while he was in the White House.
Trump and Netanyahu lock hands as Trump says “Let’s get a good, a beautiful picture.”
The Netanyahus pose on either side of Trump, who smiles while giving a thumbs up to assembled photographers.
Trump and Netanyahu then hold up a photo of one of the Bibas children, kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 by Hamas, at the request of their grandfather Eliyahu Bibas.
Trump says, “We’ll get that taken care of.”
Netanyahu’s office has yet to offer any account of the meeting.
