Ambassador David Friedman, who served as the Trump administration’s ambassador to Israel during the historic move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and the forging of the Abraham Accords, spoke with CBN News this week to discuss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress, and his first meetings at the White House since beginning his sixth term as Israel’s leader in 2022.

"What he's trying to accomplish, you know, on this extremely large stage, maybe the biggest stage in the world is to really explain Israel's position, explain what happened to Israel on October 7th, the trauma this inflicted on the Jewish state, the Jewish people, the inhabitants of Israel. how Israel has done its best to minimize civilian casualties.  But how Israel views this as an existential battle where victory is the only option. And I think, you know, he is uniquely qualified to make that case," Friedman told CBN News. 

Friedman believes Netanyahu will be on a mission to reaffirm Israel’s deep ties with America and to address both sides of a huge political divide in the U.S. caused in part by the deadly Hamas attack on Israel last October 7th.

The former ambassador has authored a new book titled, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, available for pre-sale.

  • @user-pf7tf3rf1u
    From Churchill to the butcher, Netanyahu speaking to Congress’ AIPAC recipients. How far America has declined.
  • My car insurance is going up every month i’ll afford it. I really cannot afford grocery in the supermarket. I cannot afford insurance so much more and I am sure other in worse position than me. I just want to be able to survive the cost of living in the United States of America. That’s all I’m asking for more money to come back to me.😤🤬
  • How do you decide what information to include in your video description? What elements do you consider key? 🐱💞
  • @Tareqdwikat10
    There will be lies and lies and lies and more lies!
  • Ambassador with due respect, you think what happened on October 7 is worse than what was happening before October 7th, or is it worse than what is happening in Palestine land now?
  • @jbudd032003
    Brilliant words and a clear path forward. Thank you, Ambassador.
  • @vinsok-wg7lh
    His goal to visit is more weapons and money 💰 🤑 💸
  • @SHEAHABSHAREEF2
    It’s a shame to the us to have an international criminal to land on the us soil and speak to the American people
  • The Vatican's had their input in the last few elections , how do you see that the Cardinals are now moving into Jerusalem , and when will the Religious Megaplex be built quicker now that Gaza has been leveled ? Saudi Arabia already has a religious Megaplex for many different religions , and we understand Israel also will do the same in their new constructions plans. Also when do they believe they will start building the Tabernacle and the Third Temple ?
  • @user-zo2gf5mq9o
    He shouldn't be speaking to Congress at all. Those are the representatives of the citizens, not the Prime Minister of Israel.
  • I can’t believe some people think this way my, this should be in a Saturday night live skit. I guess some people are you inherently terrible and the scary thing is that they actually have no idea that they are. What a sad human trait.
  • invite someone who are accused of committing war crimes to address congress, america real fall so low. i am happy that US government are acting this way so that the world can see their truth face, they're not what they pretend to be, the so call defenders of human rights
  • Peace ONLY comes through strength (esp in the ME). Stand strong, Bibi. We love you, Israel. 💙 🇮🇱 🎗
