Netanyahu calls Trump Israel’s 'greatest friend'

Speaking at the Knesset ahead of an address by US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him in Hebrew that “you will be etched in the history of our people.”

1news.media informs, citing Times of Israel, “You’ve already been etched in the history of humanity,” Netanyahu told Trump, sitting next to the prime minister at the dais. “We remember our friends, and we know your important and decisive role in bringing back the rest of our hostages.”

“Thank you, President Trump,” Netanyahu said. “Thank you.”

Switching to English, Netanyahu thanked Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the US embassy to the capital, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, standing up for Israel at the United Nations, recognizing Israeli rights in the West Bank, brokering the Abraham Accords, withdrawing from the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal, and striking Iran in June.

“Donald Trump is the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House,” Netanyahu noted.
