Former Israeli Consul General in Houston Gilad Katz said Sunday morning that Prime Minister Netanyahu is the only leader President Trump truly trusts and who can help him in the war against Iran, calling Israel America's most important asset in the Middle East, according to Channel 14.
Former Israeli Consul General in Houston Gilad Katz said Sunday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the only leader President Donald Trump truly trusts and who can help him in the war against Iran. Katz described Israel as America's most important asset in the Middle East.
His remarks came ahead of the much-anticipated Netanyahu-Trump summit, which is expected to focus on the Iran nuclear deal and regional security. The Zioneer has previously reported on the diplomatic backdrop, including Katz's earlier analysis that the meeting would be decisive (July 16) and on the tensions between the two leaders over the emerging US-Iran agreement.
The summit is seen as critical for Israel to influence the terms of any deal, as Iran negotiations reportedly accelerate. Katz's comments align with his longstanding view that Netanyahu is uniquely positioned to work with Trump on Iran.
