President Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago on Dec. 29, meeting privately to push forward on peace plans for Gaza and to discuss broader regional security concerns, including Ukraine and Iran. This was not a photo-op — it was a working summit at the president’s private Florida residence where urgent matters of American and allied security were squarely on the table.
The centerpiece of the talks was advancing the second phase of the administration’s Gaza plan: disarm Hamas, begin reconstruction under international supervision, and ensure permanent security for Israeli civilians. President Trump has made clear that rebuilding Gaza must be tied to real demilitarization, not open-ended handouts that reward terror — an approach any patriotic American should champion.
Mr. Trump did not shy away from the hard talk many in Washington refuse to have; he warned Iran repeatedly that any attempt to reconstitute its nuclear capability will be met with overwhelming force. Weakness invites aggression, and the president’s blunt pledge to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is the kind of clarity our allies need and our enemies fear.
Netanyahu’s trip also came after meetings in Washington, including with President Biden and senior U.S. officials, underscoring Israel’s urgent diplomatic push for clear American backing as hostilities and regional rearmament swirl. The contrast is obvious to any observer: when America is led by strength and conviction, allies know where they stand; when leadership is indecisive, chaos follows.
This gathering at Mar-a-Lago followed a string of high-level engagements by Mr. Trump this season — including discussions about Ukraine — and it shows a president willing to do the heavy lifting that career diplomats dithering in foggy basements cannot. Americans who value peace through strength should applaud a leader who actually brings world leaders together and pressures bad actors to make real concessions.
The mainstream media will search for tension and scandal, but the working-class Americans who pay the bills and bear the consequences of foreign policy recognize what’s happening: a return to straightforward, unapologetic American power and clear support for democratic allies facing violent hatred. If Washington’s elites prefer moral vanity over real security, voters will remember who stood with strength and who chose softness when it mattered most.
Patriots should stand behind decisive diplomacy that protects American interests and backs our friends who fight for civilization against brutal ideologies. The Mar-a-Lago meeting was a necessary reminder that peace is achieved not by wishful thinking but by the firm hand of leadership, and President Trump showed up ready to lead.
