The Israeli prime minister's meeting with Donald Trump came after Benjamin Netanyahu held talks with vice president Kamala Harris, after which she said she will "not be silent" over suffering in Gaza.

Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu at his Florida resort as he dismissed reports of tensions between the pair and attacked Kamala Harris’s “disrespectful” comments about the Gaza war.

The former US president welcomed the Israeli prime minister to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach for their first meeting since September 2020.

The Republican presidential nominee and Mr Netanyahu have reportedly been at odds since the Israeli PM congratulated Joe Biden for his victory in the 2020 presidential election, which Mr Trump falsely claimed was stolen from him.

It was all smiles between Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu on Friday, however, with the American saying “we have a very good relationship” and insisting it was “never bad”.

    Birds of a feather. Joe isn’t great about Palestine, trying too hard to be politically delicate about it I think, but Donald is absolutely going to support Israel without hesitation.

    After all, only thing that matters to the Don is whether you can pay for his support…

      Would be great if the Democrats tried to differentiate themselves from Trump regarding israel.

      It’s like they’re one upping each other on who loves israel most.

        Tell me you didn’t see/read Kamala’s speech without telling me you didn’t see/read Kamala’s speech…

        Except for the fact that claiming anyone who disagrees with you “loves” a bad thing discredits you entirely
