Netanyahu, for his part, defended Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza and condemned American protesters during a speech to Congress earlier in the week. He expressed hope that U.S.-mediated talks would lead to a ceasefire deal and the release of hostages.
Trump pledged to make every effort to bring peace to the Middle East and combat antisemitism on college campuses if elected as president in November.
The relationship between Trump and Netanyahu soured in recent years due to tensions after the 2020 presidential election. Trump claimed that Netanyahu betrayed him by declining to participate in the 2020 airstrike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani.
