We must ‘address terrible nuclear deal’ with Iran, Netanyahu tells Trump

The media are ushered in for a brief photo op with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. As the cameras click, Netanyahu whispers to Trump, “This is called a feeding frenzy.”

Trump  welcomes Netanyahu, calling him “a friend of mine for many years.”

He then says there is a “good chance for peace” with the Palestinians.

“We are going to be discussing many things, among them peace between them and the Palestinians. I think it would be fantastic,” Trump says.

He says Israel wants to see it, the Palestinians want to see it and the Trump administration wants to see it.

“There is a good chance for it to happen. Many people say there isn’t a chance but I think there is a good chance,” Trump adds. “People say it can’t happen; I say it can happen.”

Netanyahu tells Trump: “Under your leadership, the alliance between America and Israel has never been stronger and never been deeper.”

“I look forward to discussing with you how we can address together what you rightly call the terrible nuclear deal with Iran and how to roll back Iran’s growing aggression in the region, especially in Syria,” Netanyahu says.
