Bennett congratulates Trump on 80th birthday, praises his pro-Israel decisions
Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett posted a public birthday message on Sunday to former U.S. president Donald Trump on the occasion of Trump’s 80th birthday. In the post, Bennett praised Trump’s relationship with Israel and highlighted what he called historic actions taken during Trump’s White House years that strengthened Israel’s standing.
Bennett wrote, “Happy birthday Donald Trump! The people of Israel stand together today to wish President Donald Trump a historic 80th birthday.” He said Trump’s leadership left “an unforgettable chapter” in the country’s history and thanked him for standing with Israel in “our darkest hours.”
The message specifically cited Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and his decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, which Bennett described as Israel’s “eternal capital.” He also thanked Trump for working for the return of Israeli hostages, saying Trump stood by Israel when it mattered most.
Notably, Bennett did not mention Iran or the emerging U.S.-Tehran deal, even though those issues are central to current regional diplomacy. The article says he deliberately focused on territorial issues, symbols of sovereignty, and the hostage issue, leaving the Iran file out of the celebratory message.
