Meanwhile, the president arrived in Saudi Arabia for what could be an historic Middle East visit.

Of the hostage release, Netanyahu declared, "This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the political pressure exerted by President Trump. This is a winning combination."

In his first message, Alexander thanked President Trump and wrote out "AM ISRAEL CHAI" ("The people of Israel Live").

President Trump noted, "He's coming home to his parents, which is really great news. I mean, to me it's big news. They thought he was dead. So that's that."

Netanyahu also said he spoke to the president after what many are concerned is a growing disagreement between the two leaders.

The prime minister explained, "He 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: to release all the hostages, and to defeat Hamas. It goes together. The things are intertwined."

All this on the eve of a major push by the IDF to defeat Hamas and President Trump's visit to the region. (Screengrab image: via CBN News)
