Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas \u201cprobably\u201d wouldn\u2019t have carried out the deadly Oct. 7 terror attack if President Trump had been in the White House at the time.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu made the admission in an interview on Patrick Bet-David\u2019s \u201cPBD Podcast\u201d late Tuesday when he was asked if the massacre would have still unfolded under the current administration \u2014 or if Hamas would\u2019ve been too fearful.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably not,\u201d Netanyahu said, adding that \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say with these maniacs, you can\u2019t quite tell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Iran would have been more careful,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd Iran is the patron.\u201d<\/p>\n

His remarks came as Trump\u2019s special envoy Steve Witkoff revealed the president would be facilitating a \u201clarge meeting\u201d at the White House on Wednesday to discuss a \u201ccomprehensive plan\u201d on how to manage Gaza post-war.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are going to see how robust it is and how well meaning it is, and it reflects President Trump\u2019s humanitarian motives,\u201d Witkoff told Fox News.<\/p>\n

He added that Washington expected Israel\u2019s war in the Palestinian territory to be settled by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately who would be present at the Trump meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
