Trump is currently being lavished with extraordinary levels of praise in the Israeli Parliament.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him "the greatest friend that the State of Israel has ever had in the White House."
Speaker Amir Ohana has called him “not as another American president, but a giant of Jewish history.” He compared Trump to Cyrus the Great, the ancient Persian king said to have freed the Jewish from captivity in Babylon in 539 BCE.
We have to “look back two and a half millennia into the mists of time to find a parallel: Cyrus the Great,” Ohana said. “President Donald J. Trump, you are a colossus who will be enshrined in history thousands of years from now. Mr. President, the Jewish people will remember you.”
He added, “Your election to the presidency marked a turning point, not only for the United States, but for the entire world.”
