Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Garrett Haake in Washington. You were just listening to President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to reporters after their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, a lengthy press conference from President Trump that began with him literally shrugging off the possibility that there might be any differences between the United States and Israel as relates to Gaza.

I thought it was interesting, Garrett, that yes, the president hitting that message that Hamas

needs to disarm before heading into phase two.

But he was also asked about some thorny issues that have come about when it comes to this

entire peace process, including something that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been facing inside
