Benjamin Netanyahu thanks Trump for "purim miracle"

"He did it again," he said during a press conference. "First, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the embassy here. Then he pulled out of the disastrous Iran treaty and reimposed sanctions. But now he did something of equal historic importance: he recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights."

He added that it was a "Purim miracle." Purim is an annual festival in which Jews celebrate the way Queen Esther once saved them from death. It's celebrated on the very day that the Persian king's chief adviser had planned to have all of Persia's Jews killed.
