“Congratulations, President Trump. Sarah and I send our warmest wishes to you, Melania, and the American people on your second inauguration as President of the United States,” he said.
Netanyahu called his first stint “ground-breaking” for strengthening Israel-US relationship.
“Your first term as President was filled with ground-breaking moments in the history of the great alliance between our two countries. You withdrew from the dangerous Iran nuclear deal. You recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. You moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, and you recognised Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights,” he said.
Netanyahu hoped to work with Trump to facilitate the return of Israeli hostages from Hamas.
“On behalf of the people of Israel, I also want to thank you for your efforts in helping free Israeli hostages. I look forward to working with you to return the remaining hostages to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and end its political rule in Gaza, and to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel. I’m sure, Mr President, that under your leadership, the best days of our lives are yet to come,” he said.
