This American citizen is giving absolute praise and gratitude to former President Donald Trump for being able to escape the war in Israel with his wife safely. How did this happen? Well, Trump did something back during his time as president that made this rescue all possible.
Recent events in Israel have been nothing short of tragic. With more than 1,000 people killed – 11 of which were American citizens – and thousands of rockets launched by Hamas, it has been a frightening time for many. While most airlines canceled their flights to keep passengers safe, one hero stepped up and made all the difference – former President Donald Trump.
I would like to thank President Trump.
After days of fear and anxiety in Israel, I am finally on my way home to the US.
Almost every airline canceled all flights, including our flight home. We we're sure what to do.
Luckily, one if the few airlines still running flights is…

Thanks to the Abraham Accords brokered by Donald Trump, Yitz Friedman was able to get his wife and himself safely home from Israel despite the dangerous conditions. This agreement allowed a flight between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to take place allowing Yitz Friedman and other Americans stuck in Israel during this turbulent time a way out.
The U.S Embassy in Jerusalem even posted photos of this historic first flight between these two countries. Because of this peace deal arranged under President Trump’s tenure, thousands of American citizens were given an escape route out of danger – something they wouldn’t have if not for him.

It’s clear that President Trump takes seriously his role in keeping Israelis safe; he recently reminded followers on his Truth Social platform that he had brokered the historic peace deal between Israel and UAE as well as noted that if he wins presidential election next year he’ll be able to replicate similar deals like this one again.
He also added “When I was your president, we had peace through strength, and now we have weakness, conflict, and chaos” at a recent campaign stop in Wolfeboro New Hampshire emphasizing his commitment towards the safety of Israelis everywhere.
Thanks to his efforts many Americans found an escape route out of danger when otherwise it would’ve seemed impossible.
