Netanyahu thanks Trump for his “strong” position on Iran, and says the renewed US sanctions will “cut the cash machine of Iran and its campaign of carnage and conquest in the Middle East.”
The prime minister also thanks Trump for his “extraordinary support” of Israel, notably at the UN, and says with his decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem earlier this year “you’ve changed history and you’ve touched our hearts.”
Israel will “continue to do what is necessary” to defend itself, as it must, he says, against Iranian aggression in Syria, in Lebanon, and elsewhere, knowing that it has full American support.
“I think… the American-Israeli alliance has never been stronger; it’s stronger than ever before under your leadership,” he says.
He says that, with Trump, the common interests of security, prosperity and peace with Israel’s neighbors and the region can be advanced.
