Transcript
00:00A statement first in English and then in Hebrew, please, Prime Minister.
00:08I completed a second meeting with President Trump.
00:13I want to inform you something that will shock the various reports that come out.
00:22President Trump and I have a common goal.
00:25I want to achieve the release of our hostages.
00:30We want to end Hamas' rule in Gaza.
00:33We want to make sure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel anymore.
00:39In pursuing this common goal, we have a common strategy.
00:44Not only do we have a common strategy, we have common tactics.
00:49This doesn't involve pressure.
00:52It doesn't involve coercion.
00:53It involves full coordination.
00:56President Trump wants a deal, but not at any price.
01:00I want a deal, but not at any price.
01:03Israel has security requirements and other requirements, and we're working together to try to achieve it.
01:10Everything else that you hear and are being briefed on is falling.
01:14It's about as accurate as the reports that you had before, before the Iran war, about the great tension between us, about the great disagreements between us.
01:25And I say, when will they ever learn?
01:29I don't know.
01:30It's not important.
01:30We're continuing.
01:31We're pursuing this, and I hope, with impending success.
01:36Mr. Prime Minister, is pushing out Palestinians to countries where they have no connection to going to make Israel safer in the long run?
01:45We're not pushing out anyone, and I don't think that's President Trump's suggestion.
01:49His suggestion was giving them a choice.
01:52You have a choice.
01:54Where do you live, Madam?
01:56Where do you live?
01:57In D.C.?
01:58Are you an American citizen?
01:59Yes.
01:59Do you think you have a right to go to another country if you seek to do so?
02:03But the Palestinians should have that right.
02:05It's called the freedom of choice, and nothing more than that.
02:08No coercion, no forcible dislocation.
02:12If people want to leave Gaza, they should have the right to do so, and not be held at the point of a gun, of Hamas, to keep them inside if they want to leave.
02:19Okay.
02:19I can say that the two meetings with the President and the President and the President, in the morning, in the Pentagon.
02:46There is a commitment, a collaboration, a partnership, a partnership, a partnership, a partnership, a partnership, a partnership that was not in the world.
02:56I am not able to say that because the government has already been 18 years.
02:59It is not a thing like this.
03:00It is not an American government or a American government.
03:03We are working in Meretz.
03:05The mission is to bring us to the rescue of our troops in order to support our interests and our interests.
03:10We are doing it through a partnership, through a strategic strategy.
03:14I said it also through the strategic strategy.
03:17The rescue of our troops is not a matter of relationship.
03:20They are not a matter of communication.
03:22They are not a matter of communication, communication, communication and communication.
03:26These things will be said before Iran.
03:28I have been told that after what we did not have any real deal.
03:33This is also an authentic partnership and this is the end of the success.
03:37I hope it will be a good deal.
03:40Thank you very much.
03:41Thank you very much.
