Trump Says He Was Israel's Best US President

President Donald Trump, in a CNBC interview at 03:12 IDT, again questioned why Jews vote Democratic and said he has been "the best president in the history of Israel." The wider CNBC exchange also tied his comments to criticism of Obama's 2015 Iran deal and claims about defeating Iran militarily. He again said Iran still has some missiles and has agreed to nearly everything Washington needs. For Israel, the political theater matters less than policy: any American leader claiming friendship must secure nuclear denial, restrain Tehran and keep Jerusalem's security concerns central.
