The Israeli premier called the U.S. president “the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House” during the ceremony for the future promenade named after Trump.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a cornerstone-laying ceremony in Bat Yam on Wednesday for a new seaside promenade named after U.S. President Donald Trump.
“We are honoring the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” the premier said in the city along the Mediterranean coast, just south of Tel Aviv, where he was joined by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot and members of the city council.
“President Trump spoke to me several times about beachfront properties. He told me that we have wonderful coastal assets here. He spoke about a place located a bit south of here—Gaza. He said it should become a place of peace, prosperity, and good life, not of terror. He’s right,” said Netanyahu.
