WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Breitbart News exclusively on Thursday evening that his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House earlier this week was the “best meeting” ever had between leaders of the two nations. Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has visited Washington, DC, many times and met with many different American presidents. He has met with congressional leaders of both parties over the years. But this particular meeting with Trump — who Netanyahu said is the “greatest friend of Israel” ever to serve as U.S. president — was special for a variety of reasons....

Trump met Erdogan at a Nato meeting early in June. Their discussions were very friendly, and after they ended, Trump thought they had made a deal: Trump would ask Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release a Turkish citizen, Ebru Ozkan, arrested because of alleged terrorist links to Hamas, and then Turkey would release pastor Andrew Brunson, who was arrested in Turkey on October 2016 on charges of espionage, which the US considers are bogus charges. So on July 14, Trump called Netanyahu and requested that Ozkan be released, and she was released the next day. But Brunson was not...

President Trump gets a thing or two done. In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do....

Benjamin Netanyahu is piling pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to restore all arms licences for Israel. The Israeli PM ‘raised the issue’ of Britain having suspended around 30 licences in a phone call yesterday just hours after Donald Trump became US president. A readout from the Jewish State’s government press office stated that Sir Keir ‘said that an evaluation of the issue is being carried out’.

Just days after American tycoon Elon Musk caused a stir when he made a gesture reminiscent of a Nazi salute, the prime minister stood by him. 'Elon is a great friend of Israel,' Netanyahu wrote on the X platform, owned by the billionaire who is close to President Trump.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has assured that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have safe passage and will not face arrest if he attends the 80th-anniversary commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz later this month, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. The assurance follows a call by Polish President Andrzej Duda for the government to guarantee Netanyahu's security. In a letter obtained by Bloomberg News, Duda cited the "absolutely exceptional circumstances" surrounding the event. Netanyahu is currently under an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes in Gaza. “Anyone who wishes to attend the Auschwitz...

US President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he had a “very good talk” with Israel‘s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, about the war in Gaza and reiterated his threat that “all hell is going to break out” if Hamas does not release its hostages by Jan. 20, the day Trump takes office. “As you know, I gave a warning that if these hostages aren’t back home by that date, all hell is going to break out,” he said during a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida. Later, Trump added that if no ceasefire deal is reached by the time he takes...

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban said Friday he would invite Benjamin Netanyahu to visit his country and that he would guarantee that an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the Israeli prime minister would "not be observed." Orban's remarks stand in contrast to a long list of European leaders who promised to respect the court's decision. Ireland's prime minister Simon Harris said Friday that his country would be prepared to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he came to the country. “We support international courts and we apply their warrants,” Harris told national broadcaster RTE when asked if Netanyahu would...

America must stand with Israel against the ICCAs Israel defeats its enemies on the battlefields in Gaza and Lebanon, the intifada has gone global. The fronts of the war against the Jewish state encompass America's cities, the United Nations, the U.S. Senate, and the International Criminal Court. Marches, resolutions, embargoes, arrest warrants—these are the tactics by which Hamas sympathizers worldwide intend to isolate Israel diplomatically, undermine Israel's war against terrorism, and intimidate the Jewish people.Only one response is appropriate. America must stand in the breach. America must provide Israel with the cover and support it needs to cripple Hamas and...

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham had a stern warning for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and anyone else willing to help a “rogue” International Criminal Court (ICC) as a nation enforce an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The South Carolina Republican threatened sanctions that would impact economies in those countries.

Radical leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated on Thursday that he would allow the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Canadian soil in observance of a recently issued International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against him, outraging leaders in his country, including from his own party. Trudeau noted that Canada was one of the founding countries of the ICC, which has no enforcement mechanism outside of the actions of members states, and declared that arresting Netanyahu was “just who we are as Canadians.” On Thursday, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant,...

Justin Trudeau chooses to side with the ICC and Hamas against Israel.. He does so standing next to Chrystia Freeland, whose grandfather was a leading Nazi in his day. History echoes. ... Freeland's Chomiak grandfather was a prolific antisemitic propagandist during the war.

European governments backed the International Criminal Court in The Hague following its decision on Thursday to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and slain Hamas terror leader Mohammed Deif. Josep Borrell, the European Union’s outgoing foreign-policy chief, claimed that the ruling was “not political” and should be respected.

Benjamin Netanyahu could be detained if he visits Britain after Sir Keir Starmer backed the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant. The Hague-based court, which Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month said the UK 'supports', today issued warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, as well as the leader of Hamas. Britain, along with 123 other members of the ICC, will now be obliged to detain Netanyahu 'on sight' under international law. A spokesperson for Downing Street said the Government respected the court and refused to rule out he would be arrested if he...

ICC “court”: Perpetrators and its defenders seek “justice” against its victims. Genocidal Islamic Fascist Republic of Iran, heavily involved in Oct 7 atrocities campaign and Hamas/PIJ activities throughout, together with Hamas’ host Qatar (who also propagates for Hamas via its: Al Jazeera, TheNewArab, Middle East Eye) have been bribing broke S. Africa to be its unofficial emissary to peddle Pallyweid “charges” within weeks of Israel's response to Iran/Palestinian attacks. The bitter and very bloody irony of the “justice” sought by (one of) the very perpetrator of it all, including aiding in Gaza regime (who also controls its Ministry of Health)...

This is damning...Not for Israel, but for the impotent sham court flaunting its lack of moral clarity as a badge of honor.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) knocked the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. “The International Corrupt Criminal Court has acted in the most absurd and irresponsible manner possible by issuing arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and former Defense Minister of Israel while there is a serious cloud of allegations hanging over the prosecutor who sought these warrants,” Graham said in a post on the social platform X on Thursday. The ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, as well as Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim...
