Netanyahu Welcomes Trump’s Israel Visit
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to visit Israel in the coming days. The visit is expected to include a historic speech before the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, pending formal arrangements.
Trump Confirms Knesset Speech Possibility
In an interview, Trump said he was “likely going to Israel soon” and confirmed he would address the Knesset if invited. He described his recent phone call with Netanyahu as “great” and praised the first-phase ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas as “a great day for Israel and for the world.”
Netanyahu’s Response
Netanyahu expressed gratitude for Trump’s support, calling their conversation “warm and emotional.” He hailed the ceasefire arrangement as a “historic achievement” and stressed the importance of U.S.-Israel cooperation moving forward.
Diplomatic Significance
If confirmed, Trump’s visit would highlight Washington’s role in the fragile Gaza peace process. A Knesset address would also serve as a symbolic reaffirmation of U.S. backing for Israel at a pivotal time, giving both domestic and international weight to the ceasefire deal.
