In a striking display of international public opinion, President Donald Trump was asked to comment on the starkly different receptions his name and that of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received during a recent speech by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in Tel Aviv. The event, which foreshadowed the President’s trip to officially sign Phase One of his historic Middle East peace plan, saw the crowd erupt in boos at the mention of Netanyahu, only to explode into massive, grateful cheers upon hearing President Trump’s name, with citizens screaming, “Thank you, Trump!” This powerful moment underscores the profound gratitude felt on the ground for a leader who delivers real results, a fact the liberal media is desperate to downplay.
Aboard Air Force One, a reporter questioned President Trump on this very political dynamic, asking, “you would think it’s good for everybody, but at a rally this weekend, they were cheering for you and they were booing Netanyahu. What’s up with that?” In his characteristically focused and deal-oriented manner, President Trump responded, “I don’t know, but we’re going to make everybody happy. The one thing I can tell you is everybody is happy, whether it’s Jewish, or Muslim, or the Arab countries, every country is dancing in the streets.”
He continued, highlighting the unprecedented nature of his administration’s achievement, stating, “And it’s a point in time I don’t think you’d ever see it again. They’ve never seen it for 3,000 years. If you like one group, you don’t like the other group, and if you like the other group, you don’t like the first group. And this is the first time they’ve ever seen where everybody is unified.” This is the hallmark of true leadership—forging unity where only division has existed for millennia, a feat his predecessors could not even conceive of accomplishing.
When pressed further by another reporter about the crowd’s booing of the Israeli Prime Minister, President Trump gracefully acknowledged the honor bestowed upon him by the Israeli people while still offering support for his counterpart. “I did. I also saw the crowd cheer when he mentioned Trump, like, really cheer. It’s an honor,” he said. Demonstrating his commitment to fairness and alliance, he added, “No, as I said, I think Bibi did a great job. I had some words with him a couple of times, where I didn’t agree, and he was always— he was the right guy at the right time.”
Even when faced with a cynical question attempting to cast doubt on the durability of the peace and fearmonger about potential future conflicts, President Trump remained the picture of unwavering confidence in the strength of the agreement his administration negotiated. To the question, “Because many Palestinians will be concerned that after the hostages are handed over, that Israel might restart the wall for some reason. Are you—” the President provided a firm and reassuring answer. “I’m not worried about anything. I think we have a great deal, and it’s a great deal for everybody. You know, a great deal was a deal where everybody’s happy, and every country they’re dancing in the streets. That’s a great deal. It’s a unique— it’s a unique period in time.” This stands in stark contrast to the doubt and negativity constantly peddled by his political opponents and their media allies, who refuse to celebrate American diplomatic success.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on President Trump’s visit to the Middle East and the peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel, delivering the facts that the mainstream media deliberately obscures.
