Jerusalem’s Chords Bridge was lighted on Sunday night with the American and Israeli flags as an appreciation gesture to the Washington administration led by U.S. President Donald Trump and the American people in the wake of the war against Iran.

President Donald Trump earlier said that the Jewish state would not exist without the United States.
“It is a big problem if she is making these kinds of statements while officially representing the E.U. on the world stage,” said one E.U. diplomat, according to Euractiv.
The U.S. president told reporters that he intends to read his agreement with the Iranian regime “word by word” publicly to set the record straight.
“When you have something saying you can’t go to someone who uses divination, or a witch, or consults spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer, that means this is something people were doing,” Eddy Portnoy, the curator, told JNS.
“No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school,” James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated.
The partnership is an “indication that elected officials are taking seriously the unprecedented increase in anti-Jewish incidents occurring in schools across our country,” Brandy Shufutinsky of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told JNS.
