The Times of Israel reports: A top Israeli minister and Likud leader praised US President Donald Trump’s summit meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, as “a tremendous achievement,” and said a similar meeting between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani would “not be terrible.”
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, the number-2 lawmaker on the ruling Likud party’s Knesset list, said it was a “historic morning” following the summit in Singapore, which took place at 4 a.m., Israel time.
