Netanyahu focuses his speech on two elements: Israel’s diplomatic and technological achievements in recent years, and urging the Trump administration to push back on the 2015 Iran deal. Enumerating Israeli engagement with other nations, he includes cutting-edge technology in agriculture, in water, in cyber security, in medicine, in autonomous vehicles, and terrorist prevention. After praising President Trump for calling the nuclear deal an “embarrassment,” he unequivocally asserts that if required, “Israel will defend itself with the full force of our arms and the full power of our convictions.”
