As expected President Trump and PM Netanyahu traded friendly words of encouragement and commitment to one another in opening remarks at the White House.  Israel and the US will move in a common direction, according to remarks made by both world leaders.

You will find a brief (2-minute) video of opening remarks here, or watch the entire 27-minute news conference below.

Please continue to make this a day of prayer as meetings between the two, and with the House of Representative and Senate, take place this afternoon.
