Meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson on Capitol Hill the day after he held talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, the Israeli prime minister affirms that relations between Washington and Jerusalem have never been closer.
The strong support Israel received from the United States in its short-lived war against Iran caused “a great change in our region” and could lead to regional peace, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday.
“The coordination between our two countries—the coordination between an American president and an Israeli prime minister—has been unmatched,” he told reporters following a private meeting with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). “It offers great promise for Israel, for America, for our region and for the world.”
Netanyahu said that U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to join Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities was a game-changer.
