Former President Donald Trump greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago residence Friday.

The prime minister addressed Congress on Wednesday, speaking of a world “in upheaval,” and arguing that “America and Israel must stand together” against Hamas. On Friday, Trump and Netanyahu shared a brief photo op as the two leaders greeted each other outside Mar-a-Lago.

“I am honored. Come on in,” Trump said as he stood at the entrance to his estate. The former president raised his hands in greeting to Netanyahu and his wife, Sarah. “We’ve missed you,” Sarah told Trump as the two exchanged kisses on the cheek. “Let’s get a good, a beautiful picture,” Trump told the couple as he locked arms with Netanyahu.

The prime minister’s social media account tweeted a video taken from a different angle of the encounter along with photos. “In a meeting with former US President Donald Trump,” Netanyahu tweeted in Hebrew adding the emojis for the Israeli and American flags.

Trump and Netanyahu also held up a photo of one of the Bibas children who were kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7, The Times of Israel reported. Eliyahu Bibas, the grandfather of the kidnapped children, requested this act, the outlet reported.

Watch other videos of Trump greeting world leaders:

Netanyahu and his team are reportedly working behind the scenes to patch over hard feelings by Trump over Netanyahu’s act of congratulating President Joe Biden on his win in 2020. Trump viewed this as a betrayal of loyalty and stopped speaking with Netanyahu.

“Every time we thought we managed to put this behind us, we discovered that it didn’t work and that Trump was still angry,” an aide to the prime minister told Axios.

Netanyahu issued his condolences in a video message to Trump after the attempt on the former president’s life in Butler may have somewhat mended the frayed relationship, Netanyahu’s aides told the outlet. Netanyahu calling Trump in the video “president” as opposed to “former president” was an intentional choice by the prime minister, the aides said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
