Minister for Jerusalem Affairs and Jewish Heritage Meir Porush congratulates Donald Trump in a statement, citing the biblical verse “the heart of a king is in the hand of God.”

“President Trump proved during his previous term that he is a true friend of the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem. We all pray and expect that this trend will continue even more strongly in [his] coming term,” he says.
