Netanyahu Says He Informed Trump About Iran Strike, Did Not Ask Permission
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday at the Local Government Conference that Israel will remain in the security buffer zone as long as he is in office. He also addressed reports about the strike in Iran, saying, “I did not ask Trump for permission to attack Iran, I informed him.”
The remarks came during his appearance at the municipal conference, where he presented Israel’s position on both the Iran operation and the future of the buffer zone. According to Netanyahu, continued Israeli presence there is tied directly to his tenure as prime minister.
Netanyahu’s comments were delivered in the context of ongoing debate over Israel’s military posture and its coordination with the United States. His statement indicated that Washington was notified of the Iran strike, but that no approval was sought.
