Israeli prime minister\u2019s Florida trip included announcement that he will award Trump with Israel prize \u2013 key US politics stories from 29 December at a glance
Donald Trump<\/a> has warned that Hamas<\/a> will have \u201chell to pay\u201d if it fails to disarm while offering full-throated support to Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> during a meeting with the Israeli prime minister in Florida.
In a bravura display of mutual admiration, Netanyahu announced that the US president would be awarded the Israel<\/a> prize, the country\u2019s highest civilian honour, which since its inception in the 1950s has never before been given to a non-Israeli person.
The president also took a moment during the press conference to attack<\/a> Jerome Powell, calling the Federal Reserve chair a \u201cfool\u201d and once again suggesting he would like to fire him.
Trump also repeated false claims about the cost of a renovation of the central bank headquarters and told reporters that he might file a lawsuit against Powell for \u201cgross incompetence\u201d.
The trip by Netanyahu to Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago residence came amid a new push by officials in Washington to force concessions from Israel to allow progress towards the second phase of a Gaza<\/a> peace plan, which in October halted the devastating two-year-long war.

\u201cWe just knocked out \u2013 I don\u2019t know if you read or you saw \u2013 they have a big plant, or a big facility, where the ships come from. Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard,\u201d Trump told<\/a> Republican donor and New York supermarket owner John Catsimatidis on Friday.

This year has seen the president ratchet up his often questionable claims about the environment and how to deal, if at all, with the threats to it
