Israeli PM thanks Trump administration for supporting Tel Aviv regime

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thanked the government of US President Donald Trump for its support of the Tel Aviv regime.

Netanyahu also thanked the new US administration over its choice for Washington’s new ambassador to Israel, while addressing the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention via video link on Monday.

Since taking office in January, Trump’s increased support for Israel has emboldened the Tel Aviv regime to intensify anti-Palestinian activities such as settlement expansions. Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama often clashed with the Israeli premier.

Last week, the US Senate confirmed Trump’s controversial pick of David Friedman to be America’s ambassador to Israel.
