Netanyahu Sends Warm Birthday Wishes to Trump Amid Iran Talks Tensions
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly congratulated U.S. President Donald Trump on his birthday and tied the greeting to the approaching celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary. He told Trump, “Happy birthday, Mr. President, happy birthday Donald,” and said the timing was fitting because “America celebrates 250 years, a nation founded on freedom and faith.”
Netanyahu added: “I wish you enduring strength and grandeur as you lead America toward a bright future of peace through strength, and as we continue to bring the alliance between the United States and Israel to greater heights than ever before.” The message was delivered shortly after Trump’s birthday and ahead of the historic Independence Day events in the United States.
The warm greeting comes despite growing uncertainty in Israel over an emerging preliminary agreement between Washington and Tehran. It also follows a recent Israeli strike on the Dahieh area, after which Iran threatened to derail the negotiations.
