Netanyahu to Newsmax: Trump’s Gaza Plan ‘Fresh New Idea’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu applauded President Donald Trump’s vision of rebuilding Gaza, telling Newsmax on Friday that it’s the kind of “fresh” thinking that led to the Abraham Accords during Trump’s first presidency.

Netanyahu sat down with Greta Van Susteren, host of “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” for an exclusive interview in New York. Three days removed from the historic press conference with Trump about the future of Gaza and the Palestinian people, Netanyahu laid out the vision and strategy of getting to that point.

“I think it’s a fresh new idea. And President Trump always cuts to the chase. And he gets to the point that people don’t even think about,” Netanyahu said. “It’s the kind of thinking that brought us the Abraham Accords, when for 25 years we didn’t have a peace treaty. And then we said, ‘Well, we have to act differently; we wait for the Palestinians to agree, they’ll never agree.’ So we went around the Palestinians and made these four peace accords.”
