President Trump has just posted a true social following his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

I want to read it to you.

I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and various of his representatives.

It was a very good meeting.

The tremendous relationship between our two countries continues. There is nothing definitive

reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can

be consummated. If it can, and let the Prime Minister know, that will be a preference.

If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be. The last time Iran decided

they were better off not making a deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer. That did not

work out well for them. Hopefully, this time, they will be more

reasonable and responsible. Additionally, we discussed the tremendous progress being made in Gaza

and in the region in general. There is truly peace, all in caps, in the Middle East. Thank you for

your attention to this matter, President Trump.
