Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at today's cabinet meeting: "I agreed with President Trump to advance an historic defense alliance between the U.S. and Israel. It adds a huge layer of deterrence to our enemy, along with preserving the freedom of action of our forces."

Netanyahu added: "We'll apply sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and Northern Dead Sea as soon as the next government is established in the next Knesset. I appointed a work team headed by the Prime Minister's Office Director that will formulate an outline for applying sovereignty."
