At the beginning of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, 24 Teves, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu released a message to the media congratulating President Donald Trump, adding he hopes to speak with the US president in the coming hours.
“We congratulate President Trump on the start of his term. I very much appreciate his deep friendship for Israel, as well as his declared willingness to fight radical Islamic terrorism with full force.
“This evening there will be a telephone conversation between President Trump and myself. There are many issues between us including the Israeli-Palestinian issue, the situation in Syria and the Iranian threat.
I would like to make it clear, contrary to reports that I have read, that stopping the Iranian threat, and first and foremost the threat reflected in the bad nuclear agreement that was signed with Iran, continues to be a supreme goal of the State of Israel.
On the issue of settlement, none are more concerned about it than the Likud government and I, and we will continue to look out for it wisely and responsibly, for the benefit of the settlement enterprise and the State of Israel…”

Netanyahu finally has a normal President to work with. Baruch Hashem!
President Trump, while you’re at making America great again, please make Israel great again too. Thank you!
Aryeh,
I understand how you feel but calm down.
Hashem is the one who decides what. I hope this goes weĺl with the new administration but we know who to ask from.
