At Mar-a-Lago, Trump says talks with Netanyahu will focus on moving quickly to phase two of the Gaza plan, returning the last hostage and addressing Iran, while also saying it would be ‘very hard’ not to pardon the Israeli leader

At the start of his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump outlined a broad agenda covering Gaza, Iran, Turkey, Syria and hostages, saying he hopes to move quickly to the next phase of the Gaza plan.

“We hope to get to phase two of the Gaza plan very quickly,” Trump said.

Trump said reconstruction in Gaza would begin soon and stressed efforts to recover the body of the last remaining Israeli hostage held in Gaza. “We’re doing everything we can to get the body of the last hostage,” he said.

Iran featured prominently in Trump’s remarks. “I hear Iran is trying to build up again. If they are, we have to knock them down,” he said, adding that Iran should pursue diplomacy. “Iran should make a deal, but sometimes that doesn’t happen.” Trump said he would support a rapid attack on Iran if it continues its nuclear buildup.
