“We’re making a lot of progress. They like me — the Palestinians like me,” Trump said, noting that “the Palestinians are doing very well.” His comments reflected his long-held view that U.S. diplomacy—driven by strong regional partnerships, cooperation, and assertive American leadership—is delivering measurable advances.

Trump stressed that his administration was collaborating with multiple regional actors to develop a framework intended to benefit all parties. He said the goal was to work closely with “a lot of people” to achieve positive outcomes for “Israel, the Palestinians, and everybody,” signaling an effort to balance competing priorities while reaffirming support for Israel’s security.

The interaction highlighted the overall tone of the evening: Trump expressing confidence in diplomatic headway, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signaling Saudi Arabia’s commitment to a stable and mutually advantageous regional environment. Together, their remarks suggested continued—though gradual—progress toward deeper Arab-Israeli integration and improved conditions for Palestinians within a broader peace strategy.
