In a striking display of public sentiment that underscores a dramatic shift in the Middle East’s political landscape, citizens in Tel Aviv were heard loudly booing their own Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while simultaneously erupting into roaring cheers for President Donald J. Trump. This powerful moment, which the liberal media would prefer to downplay or ignore entirely, occurred during a speech by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, revealing where the people of Israel place their gratitude and trust for securing peace and the release of hostages.
The scene was one of undeniable affirmation for President Trump’s foreign policy prowess. As The Gateway Pundit reported, when Envoy Witkoff mentioned the Israeli Prime Minister’s name, the crowd responded with immediate and vocal disapproval. Yet, in a stunning contrast that speaks volumes, the mere mention of President Trump’s name prompted the crowd to go absolutely wild, screaming chants of “Thank you, Trump!” This genuine public reaction stands in stark opposition to the narrative often pushed by the mainstream press, which consistently fails to acknowledge the President’s successful statesmanship.
Aboard Air Force One while en route to officially sign Phase One of his historic 20-point peace plan, President Trump was asked by Fox’s Peter Doocy to react to this public display. The reporter noted, “you would think it’s good for everybody, but at a rally this weekend, they were cheering for you and they were booing Netanyahu. What’s up with that?” In his characteristically focused manner, President Trump chose to highlight the unity and happiness his deal has fostered.
President Trump responded: “I don’t know, but we’re going to make everybody happy. The one thing I can tell you is everybody is happy, whether it’s Jewish, or Muslim, or the Arab countries, every country is dancing in the streets. And it’s a point in time I don’t think you’d ever see it again. They’ve never seen it for 3,000 years… this is the first time they’ve ever seen where everybody is unified.”
When pressed further by a reporter from the BBC, who specifically brought up the booing of Netanyahu, President Trump gracefully acknowledged the honor bestowed upon him by the Israeli people while still offering measured support for a fellow leader.
President Trump stated: “I did. I also saw the crowd cheer when he mentioned Trump, like, really cheer. It’s an honor. No, as I said, I think Bibi did a great job. I had some words with him a couple of times, where I didn’t agree, and he was always— he was the right guy at the right time.”
This nuanced response demonstrates a leader who can both accept the acclaim of a grateful nation and extend diplomatic courtesy to an ally, a complexity of character his detractors in the press consistently fail to comprehend. When questioned about the durability of the peace, President Trump exhibited the unwavering confidence that has been instrumental in brokering an agreement that has eluded so many before him. A reporter asked, “Because many Palestinians will be concerned that after the hostages are handed over, that Israel might restart the wall for some reason. Are you—” to which the President provided a definitive answer.
President Trump replied: “I’m not worried about anything. I think we have a great deal, and it’s a great deal for everybody. You know, a great deal was a deal where everybody’s happy, and every country they’re dancing in the streets. That’s a great deal. It’s a unique— it’s a unique period in time.”
This moment, where an American president is celebrated in the heart of the Middle East while forging a peace that brings together historic adversaries, is a testament to a “America First” policy that actually delivers global stability. The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on President Trump’s groundbreaking visit and the peace negotiations, reporting the truths that the liberal media works so hard to obscure.
