Bennett: Trump speech ‘nearly unprecedented’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Minister Naftali Bennett calls the speech “nearly unprecedented,” noting its friendly tone and vows to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.
Bennett does not mention the fact that Trump did not answer his call to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, or even part of Israel.
In another quick reaction, Likud MK Yaron Mazuz says, “I was happy to hear President Trump say clearly: I will always stand with Israel.”
Trump is now slated to head to the airport, where officials will bid him farewell before he heads to Italy and the Vatican for the third leg of his trip.
