Trump Says He Was Israel's Best US President

Times of Israel published at 03:12 IDT that President Donald Trump, in a CNBC interview, again questioned why Jews vote Democratic and said he has been "the best president in the history of Israel." Washington Examiner, Israel National News and a Hebrew HotNews Telegram item carry the same core quote, with the wider CNBC exchange also tying it to Trump's criticism of Obama's 2015 Iran deal and his 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.
