US President Donald Trump told the G7 summit Tuesday that 'without me there would be no Israel,' according to reports. The remark extends a series of recent Trump statements criticizing Israel's leadership and military policy.
US President Donald Trump asserted at the G7 summit on Tuesday that Israel's existence depends on his personal support, telling fellow leaders 'without me there would be no Israel.' The remark, reported from the summit in France, continues a sustained critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli policy during Trump's current European visit.
Over the past days, as The Zioneer reported, Trump has made a series of similar claims and criticisms. On Monday he said a nuclear-armed Iran would have destroyed Israel 'within two hours.' Over the weekend, via N12, Trump told Netanyahu he has 'no f***ing judgment.' He also criticized Israel's campaign in Lebanon as a 'mini-war' and suggested Syria should handle Hezbollah.
Trump's latest comment at the G7 was not accompanied by any specific policy announcement or context. The comment appeared to be a general statement of Trump's self-described role in Israeli security, echoing his previous claims about U.S. support during his presidency.
