Netanyahu says meeting with Trump focused on efforts to free hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump focused on efforts to free the hostages held in Gaza, reaffirming his determination to "eliminate" the military and administrative capabilities of Hamas.

Netanyahu added that he and Trump discussed the consequences of “the major victory we achieved over Iran” and the opportunities it presents.

This marks Netanyahu’s third visit to the United States since Trump began his second term on January 20.
