Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed US President Donald Trump as “Israel’s greatest friend in the White House” during a special Knesset session held in Trump’s honor. Thanking Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, supporting the Abraham Accords, and backing Israeli actions in Gaza and the Golan Heights, Netanyahu said, “No US president has done more for Israel.”
Praising Trump’s role in the Gaza ceasefire, Netanyahu added, “The last two years were a time of war. I hope the coming years will be a time of peace.” He accused governments criticizing Israel of “bowing to Hamas’ propaganda” and vowed to expand the Abraham Accords, saying, “With your leadership, we can sign new peace agreements with Arab and Muslim nations.”
