This year your birthday comes at an auspicious time,” he wrote in a tribute on X, alongside a photo of the two world leaders clasping hands. “America celebrates 250 years of freedom - a great nation built on liberty and faith.”He continued, “I wish you continued strength and vigor as you lead America towards a bright future of peace through strength, and as we continue to bring the U.S. - Israel alliance to ever greater heights.”The birthday message came after Netanyahu defied Trump by striking Lebanon while a peace deal is near, with Trump claiming an agreement would be signed Sunday. There was no immediate White House comment on Israel's strikes. Trump has pressed Netanyahu to stop hitting Lebanon hard while a deal is near, but the prime minister has defied him. Netanyahu's office said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks on the north of the country.In fullIran-US war latest: Trump’s peace deal falling apart as Tehran attacks him for allowing Israel to bomb BeirutThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
