Former President Donald Trump greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a warm greeting Friday afternoon at Mar-a-Lago, giving his wife a kiss and embracing the Jewish leader.
Trump, 78, opened his arms to embrace the Netanyahus, saying “come on in, nice to see you.”
The GOP nominee then kissed Sara Netanyahu on both cheeks and pulled in the prime minister for a firm handshake.
“The greatest dinner I ever had,” Trump said to the Jewish leader.
Trump and Netanyahu had a close relationship during the former president’s term in the White House. Their relationship hit some snags after the prime minister congratulated President Biden with winning the 2020 election, which prompted Trump to say “I haven’t spoken to him since” and “f–k him” at the time.
But the relationship has since been thawing.
Netanyahu specifically touted Trump’s support of Israel during his Congressional speech on Tuesday.
“I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in brokering the historic Abraham Accords. Like Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe and sound from that dastardly attack on him, dastardly attack on American democracy. There is no room for political violence in democracies,” the Israeli leader said.
