White House Press Conference between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu

from Greg Lancaster, VFNtv · host Greg Lancaster, VFNtv

ANSWERED PRAYER! White House Press Conference between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu Today we celebrate an awesome answer to prayer of the continual prayers that have been lifted towards Israel, and the relationship between the United States and Israel. Over the past eight years, the relationship that America has had towards Israel has been hostile. But, through God’s mercy, all of that has stopped, and a new leadership has been established. The Trump Administration just held its first White House Press Conference with President Donald Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These truly are exciting days. As President Trump began the Press Conference, his opening words were a testament to the strong ties between the two nations. “With [Prime Minister Netanyahu’s] visit, the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our cherished ally, Israel. The partnership between our two countries, built on our shared values, has advanced the cause of human freedom, dignity and peace. These are the building blocks of democracy.” These are words that couldn’t be more timely to be heard, than right now. President Trump continues to bring attention to Israel’s endurance amidst the harsh treatment it has received on countless fronts. “The State of Israel is a symbol to the world of resilience in the face of oppression. I can think of no other state that has gone through what they’ve gone through, and of survival in the face of genocide. We will never forget what the Jewish people have endured.” President Trump also shared about his commitment to working with Israel. President Trump also addressed the realities of the many “security challenges” in the Middle East that Israel is forced to face on a daily basis. President Trump points to the Iran Nuclear Deal, and expresses his own thoughts. “One of the worst deals I’ve ever seen is the Iran Deal.” President Trump continues to point out how he has responded since taking office. “My Administration has already imposed new sanctions on Iran and I will do more to prevent Iran from ever developing, I MEAN EVER, a nuclear weapon. Our security assistance to Israel is currently at an all-time high, ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats, of which there are, unfortunately, many.” It is such a refreshing realization to see America’s leadership so boldly standing for Israel, and also, in defense of Israel. The fight against terrorism is not just America fighting terrorism, or just Israel fighting terrorism, but both nations working together to fight terrorism. President Trump focuses on this reality because of the deep values that we share for life. It is because of this that the President then expresses his thoughts towards the United Nation’s actions towards Israel. “This is one more reason why I reject unfair and one sided actions against Israel at the United Nations, which has treated Israel, in my opinion, very, very unfairly.” It’s not just the United Nation, that has been unfair to Israel, as the President further addresses, but also “boycotts that target Israel.” As President Trump expresses his ‘diligent’ attention and negotiations towards peace in the Middle East between Palestinians and Israelis, he also expresses these sentiments; “I want the Israeli people to know that the United States stands with Israel in the struggle against terrorism. As you know, Mr. Prime Minister, our two nations will always condemn terrorist acts.” As warm and deeply heartfelt as the President’s opening words were, the Prime Minister’s response was equally warm and hopeful.
