On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Prime Minister took the opportunity to again thank the President for his warm hospitality during his recent visit to Washington and expressed his appreciation for the President's strong statement against anti-Semitism during the President's speech before Congress last week.

The two leaders spoke at length about the dangers posed by the nuclear deal with Iran, Iran's malevolent behavior in the region and the need to work together to counter those dangers.
