At a joint press conference with Netanyahu, Trump expresses optimism that a “new level of partnership is possible” between Israel, the US and the Arab world.
“There are many things that can happen now that could never have happened before,” Trump says. “We must seize them together. We must take advantage of the situation.”
The US president says that he met many Arab leaders during his trip to Riyadh earlier this week, and that Saudi Arabia’s King Salman “wants to see great things in world.”
“We are willing to work together. I believe that a new level of partnership is possible and will happen,” he says.
Trump also expresses optimism that a “renewed effort” will lead to an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
“I’ve heard its one of the toughest deals of all, but I have a feeling we will get there eventually, I hope,” he says. “There’s a lot of love out there.”
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.
