Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seen at the Western Wall on Sunday, praying for Donald Trump after the United States bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Israeli leader called the strikes “historic,” and in a prayer caught on video, he asked God to “bless, protect and help the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who has taken it upon himself to drive out evil and darkness in the world.”
Netanyahu Prays for Trump at Jerusalem’s Holiest Site
The prayer happened shortly after US bombers struck Iran’s nuclear sites at Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz. Israel has been calling for this moment for years, and now that it has happened, Netanyahu is giving Trump full spiritual and political support. The Western Wall, where Netanyahu prayed for Trump, is Judaism’s holiest accessible site and carries heavy religious symbolism. The Israeli leader also slipped a note into the wall reading, “The people of Israel have risen — the people of Israel live!”
Netanyahu believes Trump’s actions could shift the course of history. “Trump’s decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history,” he said. His words weren’t diplomatic, they were celebratory.

The American strikes came after days of tension, with questions over whether the US would join Israel in its bombing campaign. Trump answered clearly. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace,” he said.
That bold military move triggered public joy across Israel. “We woke up to a Sunday morning of alarms (sirens) and then we saw that the US attacked,” said David, a 43-year-old Jerusalem resident. “We’re all happy that the US is lending a hand.” For many Israelis, Trump’s intervention is not just political, it’s deeply personal.
Netanyahu Prays for Trump and Thanks Him for War
Netanyahu has spent decades warning the world about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Now that Trump has acted, Netanyahu isn’t just thanking him in public—he’s praying for him in sacred spaces. His visit to the Western Wall, alongside his wife Sara, was not just a political statement. It was a message to the world: Trump is now part of Israel’s spiritual story.
As the dust settles from the airstrikes, one thing is very sure. Israel is backing Trump with more than just words.
