Israeli President Isaac Herzog sent birthday greetings to former US President Donald Trump on his 80th birthday, praising Trump's leadership against Iran, according to a statement published Tuesday. The note references the Iranian regime as an 'evil empire,' echoing longstanding Israeli concerns.
President Isaac Herzog issued a birthday greeting to former US President Donald Trump, who turned 80 on June 14. In the statement, Herzog thanked Trump for his 'leadership against the Iranian evil empire,' a phrase resonant with Israeli strategic doctrine that frames the Islamic Republic as the central threat to regional stability. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (07:42 Jerusalem), the greeting was issued on Tuesday. The message aligns with a broader pattern of Israeli official outreach to Trump, who remains a central figure in Israeli political discourse even after leaving office. No further details on Trump's response, if any, were yet reported.
