Netanyahu Confirms Israel Helped Protect Trump From Iranian Assassination Plot

In a farewell interview with Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Graham's steadfast commitment to Israel and the United States, expressing that he will deeply miss the senator. Netanyahu highlighted their close relationship, stating that Graham understood the importance of a strong Israel as America's key ally.

During the interview, Netanyahu confirmed reports that Israel provided the United States with critical intelligence regarding Iranian plans to assassinate then-President Donald Trump. He emphasized that Israel shared "amazing intelligence details" to help save American lives. This admission followed a similar confirmation by Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer, who had revealed on Fox News that Israeli intelligence warned American officials about a specific Iranian assassination plot against Trump.

Ambassador Dermer underscored the seriousness of the threat, noting that such claims are not fabricated and reflect Iran's longstanding hostile stance over 47 years. He expressed hope that Trump could influence a change in Iran's aggressive policies. Netanyahu's confirmation adds weight to the intelligence cooperation between Israel and the U.S. in countering Iranian threats.

The revelations come amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with ongoing concerns about Iran's intentions and capabilities. Netanyahu's remarks also reflect the close strategic ties between Israel and the United States, particularly under Trump's administration. The interview serves as a final public acknowledgment of Senator Graham's support and the intelligence collaboration aimed at protecting American leadership.
