Netanyahu to US delegation: No greater supporters of Israel on the face of the earth
Thanking the US delegation in Jerusalem for tomorrow’s embassy relocation, Netanyahu says “there are no greater supporters of Israel on the face of the earth.”
“We are eternally grateful,” the prime minister says.
Explaining why he thought other countries will follow the US, Netanyahu says that “in any peace that you could possibly imagine, Jerusalem will remain as Israel’s capital.”
Netanyahu also thanked the US president for withdrawing from the Iran deal. “I thank President Trump for his decision to confront Iran rather than appeasing it.”
The prime minister presents US Ambassador David Friedman with a framed version of Trump’s presidential order announcing the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
