Trump in Israel An education in Islamic terror. May 23, 2017 Daniel Greenfield When President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu met on the tarmac, they and their spouses chatted easily. The two conservative leaders have much in common. They are political insurgents who draw their support from a rougher working class overlooked and despised by leftist elites. The polls said that Netanyahu and Trump would lose their respective elections. Instead they won big. They prevailed despite accusations of bigotry, attacks by celebrities and a torrent of fake media scandals. The media decided that the big story of Trump’s arrival in...

Chatting candidly on the tarmac at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday, Sara Netanyahu said that, like the Trumps, Israel’s “first couple” had been treated unfairly by the media but were loved by the people. “You know in Israel all the people like us. The media hate us but the people love us,” Netanyahu told the first lady in a recording that picked up their private conversation. “Like you.”

During his visit to Jerusalem on Monday, President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nentanyahu he did not mention Israel during a recent Oval Office meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. "I never mentioned the word or the name Israel," President Trump said. The comments come after President Trump allegedly shared classified Israeli intelligence on ISIS with Lavrov and Kislyak, leading to the severe endangerment of an Israeli spy. The White House does not deny the intelligence was shared, arguing the President has the authority to share or declassify any information he's sees...

President Donald Trump has landed in Tel Aviv ahead of talks during the second leg of his first foreign tour. The US President will hold separate meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as he looks to revive long-stalled peace negotiations. He will also pay a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial on Tuesday, and is expected to become the first sitting US president to visit the Western Wall. Air Force One landed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport on Monday after flying directly from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is willing to make peace with the Palestinians if they can "pass the test of peace," during a Fox News interview Friday evening. "I think the first test of peace is to say to them, 'Hey, you want peace? Prove it. Confront terrorism, stop rewarding terrorism, stop paying it terrorists,'" Netanyahu told host Sean Hannity during their sit-down interview in Israel. Netanyahu said the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and the families of terrorists who murder Israelis and Americans "hundreds of millions of dollars." "It could be more than a billion dollars that are...

MK Yoel Hasson (Zionist Union) posted on his Twitter account an alleged resignation letter from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in which he stepped down from the premiership. The resignation was a forged letter, based on the letter with Netanyahu's resignation from heading the Communication Ministry, submitted to the Cabinet on Sunday. Hasson wrote above the picture of the letter: "Why just the communications portfolio? Here @Netanyahu, I arranged it for you. All that's left is to send it." The Prime Minister's Office reacted angrily to the fake letter of resignation. The Cabinet Secretary submitted a request to the Attorney General...

The journalists at ABC on Wednesday erupted in “open hostility” to Donald Trump, accusing the President of “shutting down part of the First Amendment” by not calling on network reporters at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jon Karl, Cecilia Vega and Matt Dowd repeatedly whined about the “conservative” questioners who were chosen, lamenting that the preferred narrative of the liberal media wasn’t highlighted. In the post-press conference coverage, Vega ranted, “I want to tell you about the open hostility right here in this room. You know, I'm sitting right here kind of in the middle of...

RUSH: They’ve gone to Q&A at the press conference and Trump is calling on Katie Pavlich of Townhall. He’s not calling on the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and they’re getting ticked. They’re getting angrier and angrier, and this is one of the ways Trump is fighting back. Let me review for you what’s happened so far in the press conference, because it has elements here that relate to what’s going on with this foreign policy shadow government attempted coup against Trump. He starts out calling Netanyahu his friend. That’s big. Netanyahu has not been a friend of...

The State of Israel is preparing for a new diplomatic battle, this time in Paris. In less than a week the Paris International Conference will convene with participation of delegates from 70 countries. Participants at the conference will call on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to disassociate from Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett due to his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. The world leaders will call on Israel to endeavor to establish such a state in order to reach an agreement with the Palestinian authority. The leaders maintain that there is no possibility of implementing such a solution...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded earlier today to the hour long speech by Secretary John Kerry and the clarified stance of the U.S. position toward Israel as outlined in the past several days.

Netanyahu on Wednesday thanked Trump on Twitter for his "warm friendship" and "clear-cut support for Israel" after the president-elect tweeted that Israel should "stay strong" as his administration approaches. Netanyahu said Kerry's speech was "almost as unbalanced" as the U.N. resolution, which he harshly criticized. He said that peace will not be achieved through speeches or U.N. resolutions but through direct talks. "Israel remains committed to resolving the outstanding difference between us and the Palestinians with direct negotiations," Netanyahu said. He also contended that Kerry spent "most of his speech blaming Israel for the lack of peace."

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has apparently snubbed Theresa May over the UK’s support of a highly critical UN resolution condemning Israeli settlement building. The move is the latest in a series of diplomatic retaliations by Israel against the countries that supported a UN security council resolution describing Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as a “flagrant violation” of international law and an obstacle to peace.

The Israeli government’s furious reaction to the U.N. Security Council’s adoption of a resolution opposing Jewish settlements in occupied territory underscores its fundamental and bitter dispute with the international community about the future of the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that there is nothing wrong with his controversial policy of building Jewish towns in occupied areas that the Palestinians, with overwhelming world support, claim for their state. But Friday’s U.N. rebuke was a stark reminder that the rest of the world considers it a crime. The embattled leader is now placing his hopes in the...

Israel stands on the front line of the global jihad. It will be refreshing once again to have a President who stands with her.

I know very well that...

I am sure that President-elect Trump and I will continue to strengthen the special alliance between Israel and the US and we will bring them to new heights,” he added.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu congratulated Donald Trump on Wednesday, following his victory in Tuesday’s election. Netanyahu, who assiduously avoided commenting on the race prior to the vote, called Trump “a true friend” of Israel. Following criticism by left-leaning media outlets that he had appeared to side with Mitt Romney in 2012, the Prime Minister remained mum on this year’s election, going so far as to order government ministers not to make public statements on the issue. Netanyahu said he looked forward to working with the 45th President of the United States, adding that the bond between the US and Israel...

Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the Israeli people this evening (Wednesday) ahead of the historic pact to be signed between America and Israel in which Israel is set to receive 38 billion dollars of military aid over the next 10 years.
