Congratulations President Trump!
Sara and I send our warmest wishes to you, Melania and the American people on your second inauguration as President of the United States.
Your first term as President was filled with groundbreaking moments in the history of the great alliance between our two countries.
You withdrew from the dangerous Iran nuclear deal, you recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, you moved the American embassy to Jerusalem and you recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
You brokered the historic Abraham Accords in which Israel made peace with four Arab countries.
I believe that working together again we will raise the U.S.-Israel alliance to even greater heights.
I’m confident that we will complete the defeat of Iran’s terror axis and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for our region.
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 am sure, Mr. President, that under your leadership, the best days of our alliance are yet to come.”

All this is good in public, but Netanyahu should meet Mike Huckabee and tell him to signal Trump that what Steve Witkoff is doing is pretty damaging for Israel’s security. Also convince Trump to stop signaling counter-productive ideas like Israel withdrawing from South Lebanon after the ceasefire ends, or having to release more Pali prisoners for every hostage (this last one is actually more Netanyahu’s fault than Trump’s: Trump cannot be more pro-Israeli security than Netanyahu)

One of the many great accomplishments of President Trump in his first term in Office was the recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital City of the State of Israel
As President Trump had. so wisely, said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, and he then acted on his word and he had done so by good decision of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem . That bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the President’s decision is despicable. Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well than it’s “tough beans” to them.

It was a good and even a grant achievement of President Trump, in his previous term, was his officially recognizing Jerusalem as the Capital city of the Jewish State of Israel and moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem.
Many Muslims and had become very angry the US recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital City of the State of Israel..
This is a very strong remember that Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC “There are many reasons to become angry but very few good ones.”

In 2020, both Trump and Netanyahu believed they would both be reelected. They both lost. By the grace of God, they’ve been given another opportunity now concurrently to lead a global confrontation against the Ummah, and win and end the 1403-year zero-sum global Islamic War once and for all. This is an historic opportunity they must not squander. Trump is the kind of man who could demand each and every country on the planet must choose a side. He’s also smart enough to know we must end the pissing match with China and Russia, and ally with them to defeat our common foe: The 1.8 Billion strong, rapidly growing Ummah pursuing all of our forced submission, enslavement, or extermination.
Will he recognize this and do it on his own? I doubt it. One thing about Trump though, we all have access to him through his Truth Social. If you want to lobby him for US & Global Kuffar action against the Ummah, regular direct postings on his Truth Social profile would be a good place to reach him. We already know he personally reviews his account and responds regularly. We already know Trump wants to do BIG things for America, such as a union w Canada; purchase of Greenland; repatriation of Panama Canal; Gulf of America; Mt McKinley; etc. I’m sure he would also love to win the global Islamic War if he could see the existential gravity of it from the 30,000 foot / 1403-year perspective.

Bibi is just glad Biden is gone, one less betrayer. Trump will probably back any action, that Bibi would take, short of a nuke….and then maybe even then, depending on the recipient. At least the U.S. funding of Israel’s enemies should dry up.
