Trump: "You're the man I want by my side"

Netanyahu opened by thanking Trump for his support of Israel: "I thank you for the incredible support of the free world, of America. You are the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, by a huge margin. The entire free world and civilization draw courage from your courage."

He then turned to Trump's statement that the two have unfinished work ahead: "Donald, we have work to finish. You said it and we will finish it together. We'll finish it and no one else will do it."

Trump made clear he had written his endorsement himself: "I really wrote it myself, it wasn't something that someone else wrote, it was written by me. You're a fighter, you've been treated unfairly by the country and more or less by others as well, you've been treated unfairly, because of this ridiculous situation, but you're a great fighter, and we're going to prove that very soon."

Trump continued with his endorsement of the prime minister: "I think you're great Bibi, I was always going to do this. I think you're going to win a huge victory, you're the man I want by my side Bibi!"

Netanyahu responded warmly: "Well, let me tell you, what I can say is that our alliance has proven that we can do incredible things together. There's still work to finish. We have peace that we can expand, I'm sure our strength will bring additional countries, I don't want to expand on an open line, but we both know that we can expand the historic Abraham Accords."

Netanyahu closed by praising the president: "People in America need to know that you stood against the greatest danger threatening them, Iran with nuclear weapons, we will not let that happen."
