Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his Knesset speech that "the relationship with the U.S. has never been closer and tighter than it is now - both on the diplomatic level and on the personal level between President Trump and myself." The PM also addressed the conscription law and said that "in the current session we will also submit for Knesset approval a conscription law that will lead to the drafting of ten thousand yeshiva students within two years, this is a real revolution, something that has not happened since the establishment of the state, and there are many others of draft age who are not ultra-Orthodox and they also need to be drafted."
