“This is a very exciting moment for the region,” the president stated, speaking at a special session of the Knesset (Parliament) as part of a brief visit to the Levantine nation before traveling to Egypt, where he will participate in an international summit on Gaza.

A declared defender of Israel, the president noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continually requested weapons for the war against Gaza and other areas.

“I gave you everything, and you used them well,” he emphasized, addressing those present, among whom was Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, whom he praised.

We’re not going to be politically correct, Bibi (Netanyahu’s nickname), as you pointed out earlier in your speech: peace through strength, that’s the story, Trump noted.

We have weapons no one dreamed of, I hope we never have to use them, he warned.

He also expressed his eagerness to expand the Abraham Accords, through which this nation established diplomatic relations with several Arab countries.
