Israeli President Isaac Herzog marked President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday on Saturday with a warm public message, commending his leadership, his support for Israel, and his role in confronting Iran and securing the release of hostages.

Trump, who turns 80 on Sunday, received congratulations from Herzog, who highlighted both the president’s personal achievements and his impact on U.S.-Israel relations.

“Happy 80th birthday, President Trump! Your remarkable journey to the White House represents the breadth of the American dream and the power of your own resolve,” wrote Herzog.

The Israeli president went on to express gratitude on behalf of the people of Israel for Trump’s actions on key security issues, particularly his stance toward Iran and his support during times of crisis.

“The people of Israel are grateful for your leadership in confronting Iran’s empire of evil and for your steadfast commitment to the security of Israel. We will never forget your tireless efforts in securing the release of our beloved hostages. May you lead the Middle East and the world toward peace and security and continue to strengthen the unique US-Israel partnership,” he added.

Herzog also referenced a traditional Jewish teaching associated with reaching the age of 80, offering blessings for continued health, happiness, and family joy.

“In Jewish tradition, it is stated that at the age of eighty you gain unique prowess. May you enjoy your beautiful family and many happy birthdays with blessings and joy. Mazal tov!” concluded Herzog.
