If Trump was explaining how he is on the way to making the US Great Again, Netanyahu reveals how Israel is already there. He also explains how horrid the UN is, IMHO.

Mr. President, Ladies and gentlemen, We’re in the midst of a great revolution, a revolution in Israel’s standing among the nations. This is happening because so many countries around the world have finally woken up to what Israel can do for them. Those countries now recognize what brilliant investors like Warren Buffet and great companies like Google and Intel, what they’ve recognized and known for years: That Israel is the innovation nation – the place for cutting-edge technology in agriculture, in water, in cyber security, in medicine, in autonomous vehicles – you name it, we’ve got it.
Those countries now also recognize Israel’s exceptional capabilities in fighting terrorism.

You may not know this, but your governments do, and they are working closely together with Israel to keep your countries safe and your citizens safe.

Of these many visits, two were truly historic. In May, President Trump became the first American president to include Israel in his first visit abroad. President Trump stood at the Western Wall, at the foot of the Temple Mount, where the Jewish people’s temples stood for nearly a thousand years. When the President touched those ancient stones, he touched our hearts forever.

Happy New Year, PM Netanyahu and the faithful children of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
