Watch: Trump holds press conference with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu

President Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Monday morning before an afternoon press conference with the two leaders.

The meeting comes at a tenuous moment for Israel, which is increasingly isolated on the world stage, with multiple longtime allies formally recognizing a Palestinian state this month.

Trump has offered steadfast backing to Netanyahu throughout the war, and Sunday said in an interview that a peace to end the war in Gaza is in its “final stages.”

In a post on social media, the president said: “We have a real chance for GREATNESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ALL ARE ON BOARD FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL, FIRST TIME EVER. WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!”
