Ministers from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government take to X to show their appreciation and enthusiasm after the premier’s meeting with US President Donald Trump.
The comments come after Trump declared his desire for the United States to “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip, after also calling for the Palestinian enclave’s entire population to be relocated.
“This is what happens when two brave leaders meet,” writes Transportation Minister Miri Regev.
Energy Minister Eli Cohen says it is a “historic morning for the State of Israel, the Middle East, and the world.”
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana describes it as “the dawn of a new day.”
Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar is also very enthusiastic: “We have a great Prime Minister and an amazing American President! Thank God for this miracle He performed for the people of Israel.”
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says: “Together, we will make the world great again.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
