Mr Netanyahu added: “I’m confident that under your leadership the remarkable alliance between Israel and the United States will become ever greater, ever stronger."
Mr Trump then took to the podium and praised the “unbreakable bond” between Israel and the US.
He said: “On my first trip overseas as president, I have come to this sacred and ancient land to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and the State of Israel.
“During my travels in recent days, I have found new reasons for hope.
“I have just concluded a visit to Saudi Arabia, where yesterday I met with King Salman and leaders from across the Muslim and Arab world. In that visit we reached a historic agreement to pursue greater and greater [cooperation] against terrorism.
“We have before us a rare opportunity to bring security and stability and peace to this region and to its people, defeating terrorism and creating a future of harmony prosperity and peace.
“But we can only get there working together."
