Trump thanks Israeli Knesset for electing him President

During the conclusion of US President Donald Trump's address to the Israeli Knesset, he raised the eyebrows of more than a few by thanking them for electing him President of Israel.

'It's so nice of you all to be here today,' he told the assembled representatives, 'it was a pretty difficult campaign but I think we deserved it. Some are saying no-one has ever been president of two different countries before but we did it. I did it."

Benjamin Netanyahu seemed shell-shocked but managed to just stare ahead with a fixed grin as Mr Trump thanked him for a good fight during a difficult time.

"With all the war stuff going on, perhaps Benny was distracted a little but I would have won anyway. The Israeli people love me. And I'm not even Jewish! They said it couldn't be done but I did it."

Mr Trump then went on to make Mr Netanyahu his deputy and told the room that he would pop in in a couple of months to see how everyone was getting along but would be catching up with 'Benny' a couple of times a week, golf rounds notwithstanding.
