Trump's Oct. 13 address to the Knesset was “the most important speech of my lifetime,” said the former U.S. ambassador.
President Donald Trump took Israel’s entire population out of trauma during his Knesset speech in Jerusalem last week, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said on Tuesday.
“You took ten million people out of trauma and put them on your shoulders and told them you won,” Friedman told the Knesset’s Christian Allies Caucus, recounting what he told the president shortly after his speech in the Israeli parliament. “That’s what a whole nation needed to hear, and you delivered it to them.”
Friedman, who served as U.S. envoy during Trump’s first administration and was back in Jerusalem for the Oct. 13 presidential address, called it “the most important speech of my lifetime.”
