The Knesset, Israel’s legislative body, maintains an official visitors’ book where high-profile dignitaries sign during formal visits. On October 13, 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed the guest book upon arriving for a scheduled address. His handwritten message read:
“THIS IS MY GREAT HONOR – A GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL DAY. A NEW BEGINNING.”
The entry included his signature and the date. The practice of signing the guest book is typically conducted before speaking to the Knesset plenum, with messages kept brief and handwritten. Recent examples include U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s visit in May 2023.
