We need medical supplies. Dozens of wounded are now lying on the ground. We can't find beds to accommodate the wounded. We can't find enough medical supplies to treat them. We are swimming in a pool of blood.

Reporters learned on the 22nd local time that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has requested a meeting with former US President Trump during his visit to the US this week. According to two sources familiar with the matter, Trump has not yet officially confirmed it, but is expected to agree to arrange a meeting, which may be held in Florida or after Trump's campaign rally in North Carolina later this week.

According to AFP, the outside world is closely watching whether Netanyahu will meet with Republican presidential candidate Trump or someone close to Trump during his visit to the United States. Netanyahu was once a close political ally of Trump, but after the 2020 presidential election, when Trump was still questioning the election results, Netanyahu congratulated Biden on his victory, which shocked Trump and broke their relationship.
