TRUMP “FEELS VERY WARMLY” ABOUT ISRAEL AND JEWS, SAYS NETANYAHU:

Posted on Dec 15, 2016

In an interview with 60 Minutes on 11 Dec. 2016, Israel’s PM Netanyahu said he’s never been more hopeful about Israel’s place in the world than he is now - and that he welcomes the presidency of Donald Trump. "I know him very well,” Netanyahu told interviewer Lesley Stahl. "And I think his attitude, his support for Israel is very clear. He feels very warmly about the Jewish state and about Jewish people. There’s no question about that.” Netanyahu has served the longest stretch as prime minister in Israel’s history. He optimistically told Stahl he expects USA-Israel relations to grow stronger under a Trump administration. Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, stated this week that Trump is determined to transfer the USA embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after he takes office on 20 January 2016. "That is very big priority for this president-elect," Conway said in a radio interview. "He made it very clear during the campaign," she said, adding that she has heard Trump reiterate it in private meetings since he was elected. (CBS/Ha’aretz)
