President Trump on Wednesday gave a strongly worded endorsement of the US alliance with Israel during a White House news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“With this visit, the United States, again, reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our cherished ally, Israel. The partnership between our two countries built on our shared values has advanced the cause of human freedom, dignity, and peace. These are the building blocks of democracy,” Trump said.

The president slammed the Iranian nuclear deal, and vowed to begin working on a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.

Netanyahu assured the US that Israel will always be its strongest ally, and praised Trump for his hardline stance against radical Islamic terrorism.
