Israeli panelist Erev Linor explained on Sunday that U.S. President Donald Trump's support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stems from a shared mission to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Linor stated that Trump's objective is to "deal with Iran and its nuclearization, and prevent Iran from becoming what North Korea has become, a nuclear power you can do nothing about."

Linor argued that Israel, under Netanyahu's leadership, is the only strategic partner in the Middle East capable of assisting the U.S. in this endeavor. She dismissed other regional allies, asserting that "all his allies here in the Middle East are worthless." Linor cited Turkey's imperial ambitions, the perceived weakness of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and Qatar's cooperation with Hamas as reasons for their inadequacy. She also noted that European nations like France and England have imposed limitations on Trump.

"He wants to do an international mission, and the state led by Benjamin Netanyahu, the State of Israel, is the only one here in the region that can help him achieve this mission," Linor said. She emphasized that a nuclear Iran poses a danger to Israel, regardless of political affiliation.
