Returning soldier Idan Alexander has now crossed the border into Israeli territory with an IDF force.

This is a very emotional moment. Idan Alexander has come home.

This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the diplomatic pressure applied by President Trump.

Trump told me: "I am committed to Israel. I am committed to continuing to work with you in close cooperation to achieve all of our war goals: freeing all hostages and defeating Hamas."

Within days, things will happen in Gaza that we have never seen before.

We will occupy Gaza, and our security control will remain there forever.

Netanyahu acknowledged to members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee the difficulties in implementing Trump's plan to displace Gaza residents.

I give a chance to efforts to return the hostages, but if these efforts fail, the fighting will resume forcefully and comprehensively, until a decisive outcome is achieved.
