"To Bibi – A Great Leader, Donald Trump."
The White House Social Media Team has shared this video summarizing the Trump-Netanyahu meeting.
Less than two weeks have passed since the release of the five female lookouts from Hamas captivity, and they have surprised even their families by deciding together to return to service in the IDF, Channel 12 News reported on Tuesday.
The five have already requested to resume their army service, but the families reported that the IDF said, "It's too early; this is their time to recover."
Despite what they went through on October 7, 2023, it is important for Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Agam Berger to return to the IDF and perhaps even serve together.
Even though the five wish to return to the army, they do not wish to return to their roles as lookouts. Ori Megidish, who served with the five at the Nahal Oz outpost and was rescued from captivity on October 30, 2023, returned to serve four months later in a role in the Intelligence Division.
The IDF stated that her decision to return to service stemmed from "her personal desire and a sense of mission to serve the country."
"U.S. concerns about Iran's nuclear weapons development are not complicated and can be resolved."
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, pressured by Trump's statement that Saudi deal will not require a Palestinian State rushed to release the following statement at 4 AM local time:
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."
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he’s given his advisers instructions to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him.
“If they did that they would be obliterated,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters while signing an executive order calling for the U.S. government to impose maximum pressure on Tehran. “I’ve left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left.”
The Justice Department announced in federal charges in November that an Iranian plot to kill Trump before the presidential election had been thwarted..
The department alleged Iranian officials had instructed Farhad Shakeri, 51, in September to focus on surveilling and ultimately assassinating Trump. Shakeri is still at large in Iran.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump added the U.S. would level destroyed buildings and “create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.”
Trump is not ruling out sending U.S. troops to secure Gaza, saying in response to a reporter’s question: “As far as Gaza is concerned, we’ll do what is necessary. If it’s necessary, we’ll do that.”
The comments came after Trump earlier suggested that displaced Palestinians in Gaza be “permanently” resettled outside the war-torn territory.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was seemingly on the verge of tears over the latest budget cuts by DOGE—the Dept. of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk.
Instead of Schumer applauding DOGE for saving billions of dollars of your hard earned tax money, Chuck took to X and lashed out.
“An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.”
Musk responded to his post with the following:
“Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that @DOGE is doing work that really matters. This is the one shot the American people have to defeat BUREAUcracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore DEMOcracy, rule of the people. We’re never going to get another chance like this. It’s now or never. Your support is crucial to the success of the revolution of the people.”
Here are some of examples of government expenditures that have been highlighted by DOGE:
Chuck Schumer has been in goverement for too long. If he can’t see what is wrong with the waste and fraud happening with our tax dollars, It’s time for his retirement.
Way back in 2014 Din posted how Frankfurter, editor of Ami Magazine was infatuated with this cult, Lev Tahor!
In 2022 I featured a Front Cover of Ami Magazine which made the Sex-crazed Helbrans a great tzaddik!
I'm very glad that the Rabbinic leaders got together to make sure that "lev Tahor is thrown out of our communities!
A historic gathering of leading rabbis convened Tuesday afternoon in Boro Park at the home of the Munkatcher Rebbe. The “Asifas Gedolei HaRabbonim” brought together top Hasidic leaders from Satmar, Pupa, Vizhnitz, Bobov, Vien, Skver, Belz, and Jaworzno, as well as prominent Rosh Yeshivas such as Rav Malkiel Kotler from Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood.
The meeting focused on addressing the controversial “Lev Tahor” group and the troubling reports emerging from within. The rabbis discussed possible actions, heard testimonies from respected figures involved, and received updates from activists. The goal was to unify the community against the group.
Key speakers included the Satmar Dayan of Antwerp, the Sighet Rav, and renowned activist Moshe David Niederman, who has led legal efforts against the group. Testimonies came from Rabbi Ezra Moshe Kaira, Moshe Aharon Gutman, and a grandfather whose seven grandchildren are involved in the sect.
The gathering was concluded by activist Shimon Yisroel Posen, who provided a detailed overview of the ongoing situation.
