Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he spoke with US President-elect Donald Trump three times in the last few days.
„In the last few days, I have spoken with the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, three times. These were good and very important conversations. The talks are designed to further strengthen the strong alliance between Israel and the US. "We see eye to eye the Iranian threat in all its components and the danger it poses," Netanyahu said in a video message released by his office.
We (Netanyahu and Trump) see great opportunities for Israel in expanding peace in the region and in other areas,” the prime minister added. During his first presidency, Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and facilitated the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between the Jewish state and some Arab countries.
