President Trump says he is the best president in Israel's history

The president also said he has been the greatest ally of Israel in its most challenging moments and referenced a 99 percent figure in connection with his support among Israelis.

U.S. strikes Last week, the U.S. military struck Iran after the Islamic regime attacked a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes followed a memorandum of understanding between the sides to begin peace talks and nuclear negotiations. Indirect talks between the United States and Iran are taking place in Qatar through mediators.

Israel has been kept on the sidelines of the peace talks even though it joined the U.S. in striking Iran over four months ago. This has created tensions between the U.S. and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
