Trump Says He Keeps Netanyahu in Check, Warns Israel Would Have Been Destroyed Without Him
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday evening that his relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is good, but added that they are making sure to keep him “sane.” Trump made the comments in an interview with Axios.
He also addressed Iran’s nuclear program, saying that without him, “Israel would have been destroyed.” The remarks were reported as part of the same interview, and no further details were provided about what Trump meant by the claim or whether he was referring to past policy decisions.
The comments come as Trump again publicly tied his own role to Israel’s security and to his relationship with Netanyahu. The article did not cite any response from Netanyahu or from Israeli officials.
