Speaking at The Shul of Bal Harbour, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the parents of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last slain hostage in Gaza, “we shall return him. He will be back.”

“President Trump has been unflinching; he never wavered” in his support of Israel, says Netanyahu at the Florida synagogue.

“When the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel have no daylight between them, wondrous things can happen,” says Netanyahu. “And they did.”

He says that Israel is fighting the “eighth front” — the battle for truth and against antisemitism — with the same intensity it is the physical wars.
