harry is our correspondent in west jerusalem.s often been described that donald trump is the greatest friend israel has ever had. clearly if you are netanyahu right now, you are really hoping that donald trump comes to power again. are there any dissenting voices? reporter: there are som but if you look at the polling of israelis in terms of their support for donald trump or at least, the estimation of whether trump, what a continued presidency would do for israel, he would win in a landslide if israelis were the only ones that counted. there is definitely -- definitely a recognition of the various gifts that trump has bestowed on them during the last four years. you mentioned the moving of the other is declaring jerusalem the capital, and of course, more recently, these deals that the united states has helped engineer with other arab states between israel and arab states in the region. you were here for some of those groundhog day elections over the last couple of years, you saw those enormous trump-netanyahu posters. netanyahu
