PMO: Trump expressed support for our war aims in phone call with Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump expresses support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s current objectives in the Gaza war, as well as the need to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, during a phone conversation between the leaders today, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.

Netanyahu and Trump “discussed the war in Gaza,” and “President Trump expressed support for the objectives set by Prime Minister Netanyahu: to secure the release of all our hostages, to eliminate Hamas, and to advance the Trump Plan,” says the PMO.

At a press conference last night, Netanyahu included for the first time the implementation of Trump’s postwar plan for the relocation of Gazan civilians as a condition for ending the war.

The two also “agreed on the need to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons,” reads the statement.

The phone call follows the shooting attack on two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, last night, and Trump “expressed deep sorrow over the horrific murder” of the victims, says the PMO.

Netanyahu thanked his American counterpart “for the efforts he and his administration are making to combat manifestations of antisemitism in the United States,” adds the PMO.
