The reason Israel is in such a strong position is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to listen to President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

"And I tell you what, they're in a much stronger position now than they were three months ago, that's for sure."
