Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a message congratulating the United States on its Independence Day, saying the two nations live on different continents but share a common destiny, according to Ynet. The greeting comes amid a series of diplomatic messages from world leaders marking the holiday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated the United States on its Independence Day on Saturday evening, saying the two nations 'live on different continents but share a common destiny,' according to Israeli news site Ynet. The brief message, published on Ynet's breaking-news feed, did not specify whether it was delivered via telephone, letter, or social media.
Netanyahu's greeting follows a pattern of diplomatic correspondence observed this weekend: Saudi Arabia also sent a congratulatory message to President Donald Trump and the US on the 250th anniversary of American independence, as Ynet reported earlier on Saturday. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet released its own readout of Netanyahu's message.
The Independence Day greeting comes two days after Netanyahu spoke by phone with President Trump on Friday evening to mark the 250th anniversary, a call during which he described the United States as 'a guarantor of world freedom.' The two leaders agreed to meet soon in the United States, according to the Prime Minister's Office. Today's greeting is a separate, briefer message of goodwill rather than a substantive diplomatic exchange.
