When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down with Greta Van Susteren on The Record on July 10, 2025, he was blunt and unapologetic: President Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. That endorsement is not the polite, diplomatic fluff we’ve grown used to from global leaders; it’s a full-throated recognition from a wartime prime minister who knows what real support looks like.
Netanyahu didn’t just offer feel-good praise — he pointed to concrete action, saying the coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear production facilities set Tehran’s program back by years. That kind of decisive cooperation between Jerusalem and Washington is precisely what keeps our nation and our allies safe, and it vindicates a policy of strength over appeasement.
The Israeli leader made clear that when there’s “no daylight” between an American president and an Israeli prime minister, enemies think twice before acting. He even described the shared doctrine as “peace through strength,” a simple, honest doctrine that has delivered results where decades of wishful diplomacy failed. Conservatives who have been arguing for strength in foreign policy should take heart — leadership matters and it produces security.
Netanyahu reminded viewers he’d tried for years to get previous administrations to take bold action against Iran, and he was forced to confront failure until the Trump White House finally stepped up. That’s a stinging indictment of the weak-kneed foreign policy of Bush, Clinton, Obama, and the current left-wing leadership that too often prefers headlines to results. America should be proud when a president defends our friends and confronts enemies rather than issuing empty statements.
He also used no uncertain terms to describe Iran and its proxies, calling the regime a “death cult” and saying the axis of terror that props up Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis has been broken — testimony to the effectiveness of coordinated pressure and military action. For patriotic Americans worried about threats to our homeland, those are not abstract talking points but lifesaving realities.
The mainstream media and Democratic leadership can rail and scowl all they want, but when an ally like Israel credits President Trump with its security, it exposes the empty posturing of the left. Hardworking Americans understand that defense of liberty requires allies who act in concert, and a commander-in-chief who refuses to blink when our enemies test us.
If you love freedom and want a safer world for your children, support leaders who choose strength, clarity, and loyalty over weakness, fog, and betrayal. Netanyahu’s praise is more than gratitude — it’s a clarion call to keep America strong, stand with Israel, and hold hostile regimes like Iran accountable for their murderous ambitions.
