President Donald J. Trump arrives in Israel and is greeted by @IsraeliPM Netanyahu and Israeli President @Isaac_Herzog, marking the start of a historic day. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.’
First comes strength, then comes peace.
And tonight, @realDonaldTrump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.
״ברוך אתה ה׳ אלוהינו מלך העולם שהחיינו וקיימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה״.
נשיא ארה״ב דונלד טראמפ רשם הלילה את שמו באותיות של זהב בספרי ההסטוריה. בהחלטתו האמיצה לתקוף את מתקני הגרעין של אירן הוא הוכיח בפועל שהוא ראוי לתואר מנהיג העולם החופשי. הוא ייזכר לנצח כידיד אמת של העם היהודי ומדינת ישראל.
עכשיו כבר ברור שהקבינט הביטחוני בהחלטתו מה-12 ביוני לצאת למבצע ״עם כלביא״ הסיר סכנת השמדה מעם ישראל. פשוטו כמשמעו. היתה לי הזכות להשתתף בתהליך קבלת החלטות חסרות תקדים, שעדיין לא תם. להצלחות הרבה שותפים בדרג המדיני והביטחוני. אך יש אחד שבלעדיו לא היה קם הדבר: ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו. נתניהו הוא שהוביל את המהלך ההסטורי הנועז הזה וגילה מנהיגות יוצאת דופן.
הוא ניווט ביד אומן כל החודשים האחרונים גם את הדיונים בהיבטים המבצעיים וגם את הפעילות המדינית מול ארה״ב. הוא גילה נחישות ותבונה.
כפי שאמר מנחם בגין על יצחק רבין אחרי מבצע אנטבה: ״לכולם הזכות אבל ראש הממשלה הוא ראש צוות…בעוד שכולם אחראים זה שם על שכמו עוד טיפה אחת של אחריות״.
God bless America!
God bless President Donald Trump!
״ונצח ישראל לא ישקר״.
"Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has given us life, sustained us and allowed us to reach this day."
U.S. President @realDonaldTrump wrote his name tonight in golden letters in the history books. In his courageous decision to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, he proved in practice that he is worthy of the title of leader of the free world. He will be remembered forever as a true friend of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
It is now clear that the Israeli Security Cabinet, in its June 12th decision to launch 'Operation Rising Lion' removed the danger of annihilation from the people of Israel. Quite literally. I had the privilege of participating in an unprecedented decision-making process, which is still not over. There are many partners in the political and security spheres that contributed to the successes. But there is one without whom this would not have happened: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. @netanyahu led this bold historic move and demonstrated extraordinary leadership.
He skillfully navigated both the discussions on operational aspects and the diplomatic work with the U.S. over the past few months. He has shown determination and wisdom.
As Menachem Begin said about Yitzhak Rabin after the Entebbe operation: "Everyone has the right, but the Prime Minister is the head of the team... while everyone is responsible, it puts one more drop of responsibility on his shoulders."
God bless America!
God bless President Donald Trump!
"And the Glory of Israel does not waver."
"To all the Jewish families gathering with friends and loved ones this week, have a blessed Passover, and may God continue to watch over the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the United States of America." –President Donald J. Trump
Just spoke with @GovMikeHuckabee and congratulated him upon his confirmation as U.S. Ambassador to Israel. He is a true friend of the Jewish state and I look forward to working together to further strengthen the unbreakable bond between our nations! 🇮🇱🇺🇸
Abdullah bin Zayed & @gidonsaar discuss the 🇦🇪-🇮🇱 bilateral relations, as well as the latest regional developments, with particular attention to the escalating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
A great honor to present my credentials today at Sándor Palace and officially begin my mission as Israel’s Ambassador to Hungary. Looking forward to strengthening the ties between our countries! 🇮🇱🇭🇺 @drtamassulyok
President Trump met with eight released hostages from Gaza, listening to their heartbreaking stories. They expressed gratitude for his unwavering efforts to bring them & others home.
Hamas' actions have inflicted immense suffering, AND THEIR REIGN OF TERROR MUST BE STOPPED.🇺🇸🇮🇱
Thank you @POTUS and @SecRubio, for enabling Israel to have the tools it needs to get the job done. We are grateful for the expedited actions to enhance our security and ensure our defense.

Today thousands accompany Shiri, Ariel and baby Kfir on their final journey.
A heart-piercing cry shatters the heavens and resonates to all ends of the earth as we lay to rest what should have been protected most.
Some pain transcends understanding—it rips through your soul and leaves humanity itself forever changed.
Kfir (10 months) and Ariel (4 years old) were kidnapped alive from their homes on October 7.
They were murdered in captivity.
May their memory be a blessing.
Good meeting with @MorganOrtagus, President Trump's
deputy special envoy to the Middle East, who had just come from Lebanon.
We were briefed by Major General Jasper Jeffers on the situation in Lebanon and discussed it and other regional issues.
Following Israel’s achievements against Hezbolla there is an opportunity for a better future in Lebanon, and maybe even for better relations between our countries.
Under President Trump's leadership and Israel's strength we are committed to working closely together to build a better future in the region.
🇮🇱🇺🇸
