Netanyahu hails Trump for taking 'strong stand against antisemitism'

FEBRUARY 22, 2017 13:32

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday commended US President Donald Trump for taking "a strong stand against antisemitism."

Netanyahu, who started a five day-visit to Australia on Wednesday, made the remarks to loud applause in a packed synagogue in Sydney regarding comments Trump made the day before about a resurgence of antisemitism in the US.

"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible, and are painful, and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said.

Netanyahu, during his speech that extolled the tremendous relations between Israel and Australia, received equally fervent applause when he said that the Golan “will never go back to Syria, it will always remain a part of Israel."
