Netanyahu noted that they agree with Trump that Tehran cannot have nuclear weapons and threaten Israel with their use.
— Sometimes, like in the best families, we have such tactical misunderstandings, said the Prime Minister. “But we always find a way to solve them, and we do it as great friends,” he added. “We can disagree in the morning and take joint action in the afternoon,” Netanyahu continued.
He did not answer a question about whether Trump told him in the phone call that he was crazy. “I won't go into details,” Netanyahu replied. He added that he talks to the American leader every two days. He emphasized that they both have common goals that they want to achieve. Trump himself admitted on Wednesday that he had a sharp exchange with the Israeli prime minister because he is unhappy with Israel's attack on Lebanon.
“They don't have the courage.” Netanyahu attacks European leaders
In an interview with CNBC, Netanyahu attacked European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who has criticized the actions of the Israeli armed forces.
“The way European leaders pander to radical Islamic minorities in their own countries is shameful,” Netanyahu said. – They know that we also protect them, but they do not have the courage to stand up and stand for what is right, which will save our civilization from these barbarians – continued the Prime Minister.
Asked what he would like to see in a potential deal with Iran, Netanyahu admitted that “it's an open question how the war should end.” “Iran certainly knows what (Trump) said: that there will be a full-scale return to hostilities if necessary,” Netanyahu added. – This is the president's decision, Israel is ready, US forces are also ready – said the prime minister. “I think they take into account that they are playing with fire, that's clear,” he emphasized.
On Tuesday, the American Wall Street Journal wrote that Trump and Netanyahu are arguing over how to end the war with Iran. The US president wants a diplomatic solution, and the Israeli prime minister is under pressure to strengthen the operation against Hezbollah.
