The Knesset maintains an official visitors’ guest book where high-level dignitaries sign during formal visits, typically before addressing the plenum and in the presence of the Knesset Speaker. Entries consist of short handwritten messages accompanied by the signer’s name, title, and date. On October 13, 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed the guest book during his visit to Israel. His message read:
THIS IS MY GREAT
HONOR – A GREAT
AND BEAUTIFUL DAY.
A NEW BEGINNING
The entry was handwritten and included Trump’s signature and the date. Previous signatories include U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who signed during a May 1, 2023 visit.
