Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issues a brief video thanking new US President Donald Trump for lifting a Biden-era hold on sending certain munitions to Israel.
“Thank you President Trump for keeping your promise to give Israel the tools it needs to defend itself, to confront our common enemies and to secure a future of peace and prosperity,” says Netanyahu.
Yesterday Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that after then-president Joe Biden blocked a shipment of 2,000-lb bombs to Israel, “We released them. We released them today. And they’ll have them. They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time. They’ve been in storage.”
תודה לך הנשיא טראמפ, על שקיימת את הבטחתך לתת לישראל את הכלים הדרושים לה כדי להגן על עצמה, להילחם באויבינו המשותפים, ולהבטיח עתיד של שלום ושגשוג pic.twitter.com/ZL3UhFrbte
