Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly praised former President Donald Trump for his significant contributions to U.S.-Israel relations and the broader Middle Eastern landscape. In a recent address, Netanyahu expressed gratitude to Trump for his role in brokering the historic Abraham Accords, which established normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
Netanyahu also acknowledged Trump’s support for Israel on several fronts: recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, addressing Iran’s aggressive policies, and moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, which Trump recognized as Israel’s capital. These actions, while celebrated by Israel, are contested under international law.
Furthermore, Netanyahu conveyed relief and gratitude for Trump’s safety following an assassination attempt, describing the incident as a “dastardly” act. He noted that Israelis were deeply relieved to see Trump emerge unharmed from the attack.
