>> both sides. >> i want the israeli people to know that the united states stands with israel in this struggle against terrorism. as you know, mr. prime minister, our two nations will always condemn terrorist acts. peace requires nations to uphold the dignity of human life. and to be a voic those who are endangered and forgotten. those are the ideals to which we all and will always aspire and commit. this will be the first of many productive meetings and i again, mr. prime minister, thank you very much for being with us today. mr. prime minister, thank you. >> president trump, thank you for the truly warm hospitality you and melania have shown me, my wife sarah, our entire delegation. i deeply value your friendship. to me, to the state of israel, it was to clearly evident -- so clear layette in the words yo just spoke. israel has no better ally than the united states and i want to assure you the united states has no better ally than israel. our alliance has been remarkably strong. but under your leadership, i'm confident it will get even stronger. i look forward to working with you to dramatically upgrade our alliance in every field in security, in technology, in cyber and trade and so many others and i certainly welcome your forthright call to ensure that israel is treated fairly in international forums. and that the slander and boycotts of israel are resisted mightily by the power and moral position of the united states of america. as you have said, our alliance is based on a deep bond of common values and common and increasingly, those values and interests are under attack by one malevolent force. radical islamic terror. mr. president, you have -- you have shown great clarity and courage in confronting this challenge head-on. you call for confronting iran's terrorist regime, preventing iran from realizing this terrible deal into a nuclear arsenal. and you have said that the united states is committed to preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons. you call for the defeat of isis. under your leadership, i believe we can reverse the rising tide of radical islam. and in this great task, as in so many others, israel stands with you and i stand with you. mr. president in rolling militant islam, we can seize an historic opportunity. because for the first time in my lifetime, and for the first time in the life of my countries, arab countries in the region do not see israel asen enemy -- an enemy. but increasingly as an ally. and i believe that under your leadership, this change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen security and advance peace. let us seize this moment together. let us bolster security. let us seek new avenues of peace. and let us bring the remarkable alliance between israel and the united states to even greater heights. thank you, thank you mr. president. >> thank you again. thank you. we'll take a couple of questions. david brody. that's -- christian broadcasting. david? >> thank you mr. president. mr. prime minister. both of you have criticized the iran nuclear deal. and at times even called for its repeal. i'm wondering if you're concerned at all as it realities to not just the national -- relates to not just the national security adviser michael flynn recently no longer here but also some of the events that have going been going on with communication are w russia. -- with russia. and secondly on the settlement issue are you both on the same page and how do you term that exactly as it relates to settlement issues? thank you. >> michael flynn general flynn is a wonderful man. i think he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media. as i call it, the fake media in many cases. and i think it's badly. i think in addition to that, from intelligence, papers are being leaked and things are being leaked. it's criminal action. criminal act. and it's been going on for a long time. before me. but now it's really going on. and people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss. that the democrats had under hillary clinton. i think it's very, very unfair what's happened to general flynn. the way he was treated. and the documents and papers that were illegally i stress that, illegally leaked. very, very unfair. as far as settlements i'd like to see you hold back on set elements for a little bit. -- settlements for a little bit. we'll work something out but i would like to see a deal be made. i think a deal will be made. i know that every president would like to most of them have not started until late because they never thought it was possible. and it wasn't possible because they didn't do it. but we have known each over a long time -- other a long time. smart man, great negotiator and i think we're going to make a deal. it might be a bigger and better deal than people in this room even understand. that's a possibility. so let's see what we do. doesn't sound too optimistic. good negotiator. >> that's the art of the deal. >> i also want to thank -- [ laughter ] i also want to thank sarah could you please stand up in n you're so lovely and been so nice to melania, i appreciate it very much.
