Thanking Trump, PM says ‘can’t share when gates of hell will be open’ but ‘they surely will if all our hostages are not released’

Speaking alongside US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks US President Donald Trump for his assistance in getting three more hostages released by terrorists in Gaza yesterday.

He says he also thanked Rubio for America’s “unequivocal backing for Israel’s policy in Gaza in moving forward.”

Netanyahu says he and Trump “are working in full cooperation and coordination.”

“We have a common strategy and we can’t always share details of this strategy with the public,” he says, “including when the gates of hell will be open, as they surely will if all our hostages are not released, until the last one of them.”

Netanyahu promises that Israel will achieve its war goals of toppling Hamas, bringing back all the hostages, and making sure Gaza doesn’t pose a threat to Israel in the future.

He adds that America’s “unequivocal support” will help Israel achieve these goals faster.
