This week, President Trump hosted Prime Minister Netanyahu as his first international guest in his new Presidential term, and today the two of them co-headlined one of the most awe-inspiring press conferences I’ve ever seen. It was better than any SNL performance since before Pete Davidson was born.
The momentous day began with Trump signing an executive order to sanction Iran, and prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capacity. Whether Arabic, or Farsi, he speaks effortlessly, and bilingually. Bigly.
The roast of Biden doesn’t get old for me, personally. I would be pissed too if I was left with the problems Biden created, and Trump is correct regardless. Iran did get too close to gaining nuclear weapons. “Lack of intelligence perhaps,” notes Trump. There’s a lot of that going around. It seems Santa didn’t give brains out to those in need this past Christmas. Sad!
The Saudis are afraid of a revolution so they panicked and quickly issued a statement, but the truth is that all indications are that they will not insist on a Palistinian State , they will want that Israel make a statement that they "will look into it in the future! "
Reporter: How many people are you thinking about relocating from Gaza?
Trump: "All of them, we're talking about probably 1.7 million people... I think they'll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day."

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference after their meeting at the White House.
President Trump began by expressing his pleasure at Netanyahu’s return to the White House.
“We had fantastic talks. He’s the first foreign head of state to visit during our administration. Bibi, it’s an honor to have you with us,” he said, directly addressing Netanyahu.
Trump called for “permanently” resettling Palestinians outside Gaza on Tuesday, as he and Netanyahu took questions from reporters at the White House.
The president did not say whether he thought Palestinians would have a “right” to return to Gaza but asked why they would want to return given the level of destruction.
“I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza,” Trump said. “I think that Gaza has been very unlucky for them. They’ve lived like hell. They live like you’re living in hell.”
“Gaza is not a place for people to be living, and the only reason they want to go back, and I believe this strongly, is because they have no alternative,” Trump said. “What’s the alternative? Go where? There’s no other alternative. If they had an alternative, they’d much rather not go back to Gaza and live in a beautiful alternative that’s safe.”
Trump’s comments on Gaza are the clearest indication so far of Trump’s views on whether Palestinians should be allowed to resettle outside of Gaza in Egypt, Jordan or another country.
He has previously said the option could be temporary or permanent and that he would like to “just clean out that whole thing.”
Trump and Netanyahu took 15 minutes of freewheeling questions from reporters, ranging from the prospects for a future Palestinian state, a potential agreement to normalize relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia and whether the United States or Israel intend to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“What do you know about anything?” Trump replied to a reporter’s claim that Netanyahu wants the United States to attack Iran.
“You don’t know what he wants,” Trump said.
Asked if the Saudis were demanding the creation of a Palestinian state as a prerequisite to normalization with Israel, Trump replied, “No.”
TRUMP: "Some people want to put it out of their memory, but we’re not going to ever let that happen. It was a horrible day, October 7th...A lot of people like to pretend it didn't happen. It happened."
"Like, 'the Holocaust didn't happen.' Same mindset."
Netanyahu: "I want to secure the release of all hostages while achieving the three goals of this war—eliminating Hamas' military and governing capabilities and ensuring Gaza will never again be a threat to Israel. I believe the President can help us achieve this."
Trump's Response to Whether He Still Supports a Palestinian State:
"A lot has changed."
