Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, has expressed his commitment to strengthening the long-standing and “ironclad bond” between Israel and the United States following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US presidential election.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Herzog congratulated Trump on his remarkable political comeback, marking his return to the White House for a non-consecutive second term.
Herzog emphasized the importance of reinforcing the strong diplomatic and strategic relationship between the two nations, particularly in areas such as peace, security, and shared democratic values.
Herzog’s statement indicated that he looks forward to collaborating closely with the Trump administration to ensure the continued stability and security of the Middle East, which remains a region of significant geopolitical interest.
His comments reflect Israel’s appreciation for the previous administration’s support, particularly in relation to its security needs and the broader political dynamics in the region.
The Israeli President’s words signal a commitment to maintaining a robust partnership with the United States, which has long been a key ally in Israel’s efforts to ensure its national security and promote peace across the Middle East.
The congratulatory message is also a reflection of the positive stance many Israeli leaders have toward Trump, who was perceived as a strong supporter of Israel during his first term, particularly through policies such as the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the support for Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Now, with Trump returning to power, Israel anticipates a continuation of policies that align with its national interests, including addressing security challenges and seeking peace agreements within the region.
