Netanyahu praises Trump as Israel’s ‘greatest friend’ to ever be president

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Donald Trump's plan for U.S. Control of Gaza and the displacement of its population as 'revolutionary' during a cabinet meeting after returning from Washington.
Trump's proposal, which suggests moving Gazans to other countries, has sparked global outrage, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz denouncing it as 'unacceptable' and against international law.
The war in Gaza has resulted in significant casualties, with the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza reporting at least 48,181 deaths since the conflict began in October 2023.
Under a ceasefire, Israel and Hamas completed a hostage exchange, releasing three Israeli hostages and 183 Palestinian prisoners, as Israeli troops withdrew from the Netzarim Corridor.
