In an explosive Oval Office dinner on July 7, 2025, President Trump asked Prime Minister Netanyahu if he still supported the two-state solution—Netanyahu's bold reply: "overall security will always remain in our hands." Explore the bombshell shift in policy as Netanyahu doubles down, rejecting full Palestinian statehood while offering limited self-governance. As Gaza ceasefire talks and hostage negotiations rage on, this exchange signals a dramatic pivot in U.S.–Israel diplomacy and reshapes hopes for Middle East peace.

00:00You have the greatest man in the world to answer that age-old question Tuesday.
00:04Go ahead, just give him your honest answer.
00:06We want life, we cherish life for ourselves, for our neighbors.
00:11And I think we can work out a piece between us and the entire Middle East with President
00:18Trump's leadership.
00:19I think we can establish a very, very broad piece that will include all our neighbors.
00:25I think they've gained a lot of respect for us.
00:29I think they've gained a lot of respect for Israel also.
00:31You know, after October 7th, people said, the Palestinians had a state, Hamas state in
00:36Gaza.
00:37Look what they did with it.
00:38They didn't build it up, they built down into bunkers, into terror tunnels.
00:42Let's just give them another state, it'll be a platform to destroy Israel.
00:46We'll work out a piece with our Palestinian neighbors, those who don't want to destroy
00:51us.
00:52Now people will say it's not a complete state, it's not a state, it's not that.
00:56We don't care.
00:57Do you think that there can be a two-state solution that creates an independent...
01:00I don't know, I'd ask Mimi that question.
01:03You have the greatest man in the world to answer that age-old question, two-state.
01:07Go ahead, just give him your honest answer.
01:09I think Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers
01:15should threaten us.
01:16And that means that certain powers, like overall security, will always remain in our hands.
01:22Now that is a fact, and no one in Israel will agree to anything else because we don't commit
01:30suicide.
01:31We want life, we cherish life for ourselves, for our neighbors.
01:35And I think we can work out a piece between us and the entire Middle East, with President
01:42Trump's leadership, and by working together, I think we can establish a very, very broad
01:49piece that will include all our neighbors.
01:51Mr. President, with a question on Iran, you have asserted that there's complete and total
01:57destruction of the nuclear facilities.
01:58So what is the basis of the talks going forward?
02:02Is it to cap future nuclear activity?
02:04Is it ballistic missiles, terror support, economic-based opportunities?
02:08What are the...
02:09It's really a good question, because if you remember when it was done, I sort of said,
02:13what's the purpose of talking?
02:14It's been knocked out, and knocked out completely.
02:18But they've requested a meeting, and I'm going to go to a meeting, and if we can put something
02:22down on paper, that will be fine, that'll be good.
02:25I think they've gained a lot of respect for us.
02:29I think they've gained a lot of respect for Israel also.
02:32But they would like to meet, and we're going to have a meeting.
02:36Steve, when is that meeting going to be, do you want to say?
02:38Rather...
02:39Very quickly.
02:40Very quickly.
02:41In the next week or so.
02:43So we'll see what happens.
02:45I think it would be nice to memorialize it, put it down, but because of the incredible
02:54result of that attack, if you want to call it an attack, I didn't think it was necessary
03:00to have it in writing.
03:01I think we spoke, I mean, that speaks much louder than writing, but I can also understand
03:05why they'd want it.
03:06And they've been very nice.
03:07Very respectful.
03:08And it began by them telling us about 14 they had to do.
03:12You know what 14 represents, right?
03:13Do you know what 14 represents?
03:14Right?
03:15You know that, right?
03:16The number of bombs dropped.
03:19So it was, you know, representative.
03:22We got them all.
03:23In your ambulance.
03:24Yeah, please.
03:25Behind you, please.
03:26No, you.
03:27Can you help me?
03:28So this is a question from the prime minister.
03:30The likely next mayor of New York City is a Democrat, socialist, and a vocal critic of
03:36Israel and of yourself.
03:37And has said he would arrest you if you came to New York City if he was mayor.
03:42Is that something you take seriously?
03:43Are you concerned about that?
03:44Do you have a response to that?
03:45No, no.
03:46I'm not concerned about that.
03:47I'll get him out.
03:48Look, there's enough craziness in the world, but I guess it never ends.
03:54I mean, you have, this is falling.
03:58And it's, you know, it's silly in many ways because it's just not serious.
04:04But what is serious is the question I was asked before.
04:07You know, after October 7th, people said the Palestinians had a state, Hamas State in
04:11Gaza, and look what they did with it.
04:13They didn't build it up.
04:14They built down into bunkers, into terror tunnels, after which they massacred our people,
04:20raped our women, beheaded our men, invaded our cities and our towns and our kibbutzim,
04:27and did horrendous, horrendous massacres, the kind of which we didn't see since World War
04:32II and the Nazis, the Holocaust.
04:34So people aren't likely to say, let's just give them another state.
04:38It'll be a platform to destroy Israel.
04:40We'll work out a peace with our Palestinian neighbors, those who don't want to destroy us,
04:47and we'll work out a peace in which our security, the sovereign power of security,
04:52always remains in our hands.
04:54Now people will say it's not a complete state.
04:56It's not a state.
04:57It's not that.
04:58We don't care.
