On birthday letter to Netanyahu, Trump writes: ‘You are great!’
President congratulates the Israeli premier on his 70th by sending written note which Bibi responds to on Twitter with a message in Hebrew and English
President Donald Trump congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his 70th birthday in a letter on official White House stationary.
The president hand wrote in black marker on the letter dated Oct. 21, Netanyahu’s birthday, “You are great!”
Netanyahu posted a photo of the letter on Twitter, writing both in Hebrew and English: “Thank you to my friend President Trump for your warm words on my birthday. Our alliance and friendship have never been stronger.”
“There has never been a more productive time in the Israeli-American partnership, and I know there are many more victories to come,” Trump wrote in the letter. “Thank you for your strong leadership and loyal friendship. You are one of my closest allies and I look forward to the continued success we will have working together.”
The letter was sent the same day that Netanyahu announced he was unable to form a government coalition and returned the mandate to form a government to President Reuven Rivlin, who said he would pass it on to Blue and White head Benny Gantz. It will be the first time in more than a decade that someone other than Netanyahu will attempt to form a government.
תודה לך ידידי הנשיא טראמפ על הברכות החמות ליום הולדתי. הברית והידידות בינינו חזקים מאי פעם!

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
