Netanyahu Told to 'Be Nicer' by Trump Post-Ceasefire

In a notable address within the Knesset, President Donald Trump encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to moderate his approach after the recent US-brokered ceasefire and hostage negotiation. Trump, affectionately calling Netanyahu 'Bibi', suggested, "You're not at war anymore, be nicer." This sentiment was shared just hours after the agreement concluded, which saw the release of 20 hostages held by Hamas. Trump lauded the achievement, framing it as the end of hostilities and the beginning of sustained peace in West Asia, attributing its success significantly to his administration's efforts. He asserted that "Israel, with US help, has won" and spoke of a new era of peace. Trump's visit aimed to mark this turning point, envisioning a prosperous future for Israel, which he likened to the current state of the United States. The lawmakers responded with strong approval, many expressing a desire for more leaders like Trump.
