‘In US they say Trump follows me, in Israel they say I follow him’: Netanyahu on who influences whom

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted his nation’s independent decision-making, refuting claims of US President Trump’s influence. He stressed that both leaders prioritize their countries’ interests, often agreeing but sometimes differing while respecting each other’s sovereignty. Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s unwavering stance against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, attributing past successes in preventing this to Israeli military actions and highlighting damage to Tehran’s capabilities.
