Trump calls Israel ‘great ally’ that ‘knows how to win’




US President Donald Trump called Israel a “great ally of the United States of America” and said it “knows how to WIN!” in a post on Truth Social.

“Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America,” he wrote, adding, “They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart… Israel fights hard, and knows how to WIN!”

The remarks came a day after Trump said Israel was “prohibited” from bombing Lebanon and that “enough is enough”.
