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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
