"Thank you President Trump for keeping your promise to give Israel the tools it needs to defend itself, to confront our common enemies and to secure a future of peace and prosperity," he said in a post on X.

Meanwhile on Monday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Netanyahu called for an end to antisemitism and called out the International Criminal Court for its antisemitism.
The remarks were made in reference to ICC issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu.

"On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I call on all civilized nations to confront antisemitism wherever it appears--on college campuses, city streets, or international forums like the ICC. Founded in the shadow of the Holocaust, the ICC has disgraced itself with antisemitic attacks on Israel. Hamas are the new Nazis, and we are committed to defeating them once and for all. The Jewish state will always stand as a safe haven for Jews worldwide," his post on X read.
