US President Donald Trump departed Israel on Tuesday afternoon following an eventful 28 hour visit. Throughout his many stops and statements, key talking points emerged including supporting Israel against the threats from Iran and jihadi terror militias, as well as his keenness to oversee the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

The Islamist terror militia Hamas issued a statement on Monday complaining that US President Donald Trump had “smeared” it by referring to it as an “Islamic terror” organization in his speech before Moslem leaders in Riyad Saudi Arabia the day before, along with Hezbollah, the Islamic State and Al Qaeda. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said this part of Trump’s speech was “aimed at besmirching the reputation of the Palestinian resistance” adding that Hamas would not accept being treated as a terrorist organization.

Following last Friday’s re-election of relatively moderate President Hassan Rouhani, political allies of his won elections in municipal elections across the Islamic Republic on Monday. “The people have voted and put their trust in the reformists after many years,” said Zahra Nejadbahram, one of six women elected to the Tehran city council.

While Israelis believe unabashedly that all foreign missions should be situated in Jerusalem, they largely reject any portrayal of moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as some form of “concession” to Israel. From an Israeli perspective, moving the U.S. Embassy would simply correct an injustice and affirm existing reality.
