Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks US President Donald Trump for publicly praising Israel’s strikes on Iran, after Trump said earlier today that the Israeli leader “should be very proud of himself” for the operation.
In a post on X, Netanyahu shares a video of Trump speaking at the NATO summit in The Hague, where the president added that Iran “won’t be building bombs for a long time.”

Trump also posts today on Truth Social, sharing footage of billboards in Tel Aviv showing his photo alongside the message “Thank you, Mr. President,” in response to the US joining Israel’s offensive by striking key Iranian nuclear sites.
The posts follow a sharp rebuke Trump gave Netanyahu yesterday, expressing his frustration over Israeli plans to strike Iran in reaction to what Trump described as a minor violation of a US-brokered ceasefire.
