US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Hamas at the press conference after he met with Prime Minister Netanyahu:

"If Hamas does not release the hostages, it will make us more violent - if necessary, we will send forces to occupy Gaza."

The Hamas terrorist organization's response to US President Donald Trump's statements:

"We condemn the statements of US President Donald Trump, which aim to displace the Palestinians from Gaza. These are statements that add fuel to the fire."

"We will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land. We call on President Trump to retract his irresponsible statements."

Bromance ♥️😂

In Israel 🇺🇸♥️🇮🇱💯

Lapid is jealous 😂

As he said in 2015😉
It's time to tell the Palestinians out loud: This will not happen!

This was when Obama wanted to force a two-state solution on Netanyahu.

@Yinonews

This time it's final - the Netanyahu era is over!

All of them are wrong... Netanyahu has just started 💯😂😂♥️🇺🇸🇮🇱

Netanyahu in the Knesset in June:
I do not despair.
I will not surrender.
I stand up to pressure from home and abroad,
and I stand up for our national interests out of national responsibility.
Therefore, I tell you honestly:
There is no substitute for absolute victory!

*Opposition leader Yair Lapid in an interview on Galtz with Safi Vinir in response to the Trump-Netanyahu meeting:*

"This was a good press conference for the State of Israel. We will have to study the details to understand what the plan is in Gaza. I will present a supplementary plan to the Americans during my visit to Washington at the end of the month. The role of the Israeli leadership is to present plans, not just wait for the Americans."

*On the hostage deal:* "We must ensure that the deal is completed to the end, including phase two. Trump promised that the deal will continue and the hostages will return. Netanyahu's statements about Hamas being crushed at the end of the deal were unnecessary. The return of the hostages is the most important thing, and the president said so too."

*On normalization:* "Trump deserved a Nobel Prize for the Abraham Accords, and if there is a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for it."

*On Iran:* "Iran is weaker than ever. It seems that the administration prefers the option of sanctions. The presidential orders came out before the Netanyahu-Trump meeting, this is a bad process. We may have missed an opportunity to attack Iran."

*He added:* "The security challenges that arose at the meeting increase the need for a real conscription law that will strengthen the IDF in the face of the challenges.

Trump gave Netanyahu a signed photo with the words: “To Bibi, a great leader”

Lapid, the leader of the free world called Netanyahu a great leader😂
