U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday following a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he and the Israeli leader were aligned “on every issue.”

“I’ve just spoken to Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, relative to numerous subjects including Trade, Iran, etc,” Trump posted to his Truth Social platform. “The call went very well. We are on the same side of every issue.”

He did not elaborate further.

In response, Netanyahu wrote on X: “Thank you, President Trump!”

There was no Israeli readout of the call.
