Military intervention is the only way to halt Iran’s nuclear program, insisted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“You go in, blow up the facilities, dismantle all the equipment, under American supervision, American execution,” he said in a video statement Tuesday, citing the US-led intervention in Libya. Otherwise, he said, Iran will drag out talks for years.
Netanyahu repeated his support for US President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to force Palestinians to leave Gaza for other countries.
Netanyahu met Trump at the White House on Monday.
He also said Israel would keep working against Türkiye's attempts to establish military bases in Syria, and would turn to Trump, who has a good relationship with the Turkish president.
Netanyahu said he told Trump that reducing Israel's trade deficit with the US to zero — per a request from Trump — was “the least we can do for the United States and its president who do so much for us.”
The US had a $7.4 billion trade deficit in goods last year with Israel, according to the Census Bureau.
