Netanyahu's wife reveals details of her meeting with Trump
Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, revealed details of her meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump in Florida.
Trump's deputy communications director, Margot Martin, wrote on Twitter that the president-elect had dinner with Sara Netanyahu at his resort.
Sara Netanyahu said she raised the hostage issue during her meeting with Trump, at his golf course in West Palm Beach.
“During the warm and friendly meeting, we discussed many topics, including the enduring friendship between Israel and the United States and the importance of continuing to nurture the unique bond between our countries,” she wrote in an Instagram post in English and Hebrew.
"I also drew the president's attention to the enormous suffering Israel endured on October 7," she added, referring to the surprise Hamas attack nearly 14 months ago.
Netanyahu's wife stressed the "urgent need to work to release the hostages (held in the Gaza Strip) and return them quickly."
She continued: "We also discussed the strategic importance of Israel's victory in the war against the axis of evil, for a more stable and secure future in the Middle East and around the world."
Sara Netanyahu also said that she congratulated Trump on his victory in the US presidential elections, which were held last November.
Sara Netanyahu traveled to Miami, where she will stay for weeks, to visit her son Yair.
