Trump is the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House. It’s not even close. jpost.com/diaspora/antis…

I will always be grateful to Truman for recognizing Israel’s independence. And a number of other presidents have contributed greatly to Israel’s security, and have had a genuine admiration for Israel and the Jewish people.

But Trump’s record is in a different league:

1 Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
2 Recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel.
3 Standing by Israel at the UN.
4 Rejecting a PLO veto on Mideast diplomacy.
5 Bringing peace between Israel and the Arab Gulf States.

No previous American President has this kind of a record. Trump has completely changed Israel’s strategic standing in the Middle East and on the world stage.

Trump has completely redefined what it means to be “pro-Israel.”

Those of us who care about Israel will never forget this.
