Prime Minister Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel must maintain its security interests while also protecting the important relationship with the American administration, according to his office.
Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Thursday that Israel must balance safeguarding its security interests with preserving its critical relationship with the United States. The remark, carried by his office, comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries over the emerging US-Iran deal. Netanyahu has repeatedly asserted Israel's right to freedom of military action and stressed that Israel is not bound by any agreement Washington signs with Tehran. The comment follows a series of statements this week in which the prime minister struck a firm posture vis-à-vis the Trump administration, while also expressing appreciation for US commitments. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, Netanyahu told a closed forum that while he can test the limits of the relationship with the US, a complete rupture is a red line he will not cross. No additional details on the specific context or audience for today's statement were disclosed.
