AVA- In a joint press conference, Trump said: "We do not want to see another attack like the one suffered this morning north of Tel Aviv," adding: "Our relationship is powerful." Trump then said: "We will confront the poison of anti-Semitism."
Netanyahu called Trump's decision to recognize Zionist's sovereignty over the Golan Heights "historic justice" and a "diplomatic victory," saying that "Israel won the Golan Heights in a just war of defense."
Netanyahu said he brought Trump a "box of the finest wine from the Golan Heights."
The prime minister said that "as we speak Israel is responding forcefully to this wanton aggression," referring to the offensive Zionist regime launched on Gaza moments before.
Netanyahu then thanked Trump for moving the American embassy to Jerusalem in May, and for pulling out of the Iran deal.
The two leaders will also discuss Iran and Syria after the press conference.
The event is overshadowed by an escalation between Zionist regime and Gaza that forced Netanyahu to cut his U.S. trip short. Netanyahu might still address the AIPAC conference via satellite, however.
In a tweet on his personal Twitter account on Thursday Trump wrote: "After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel's Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!"
The international community does not recognize Zionist sovereignty over the area, but the ongoing conflict in Syria has complicated the matter of ownership.
Only around 12 per cent of the Golan's Druze hold Zionist citizenship, as most still reject it on nationalist grounds citing an allegiance to Syria.
Relations with local Zionist residents are however far better than between Palestinians and Zionists settlers in the West Bank.
