Trump Says He Saved Israel, Criticizes Netanyahu as Ungrateful
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed in an interview with The New York Times that he saved Israel from “nuclear destruction.” He said that if Iran had obtained nuclear weapons, “Israel would not exist after two hours.”
Trump then took aim at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him “a very difficult man” and saying he should be grateful to Washington for what it had done. Trump framed his comments as a defense of Israel’s survival and as criticism of Netanyahu’s response to U.S. efforts.
The remarks were made during the Times interview and centered on Trump’s assertion that American action prevented a catastrophic outcome for Israel. He did not provide further details in the quoted exchange about the specific steps he said had been taken.
