Netanyahu responded: “Trump and I agree on the main things regarding Iran. Sometimes, like in the best families, we have tactical differences of opinion, but we always find a way to resolve them. We can disagree in the morning, and by the afternoon we already have joint action.".
He said, "The question is whether Iran wants to return to another round of fighting. We will wait and see, as they say. We and the US have common goals, we will see what we can achieve in an agreement.".
Netanyahu sharply attacked European leaders in an interview. "It is shameful the way European leaders surrender to radical Islamic minorities in their countries. They know that we protect them too, but they do not have the courage to stand on the side of the right thing - the side that will save our civilization from the barbarians.".
Regarding Hezbollah, he said: "It is impossible for these murderous terrorists to take over this poor country, Lebanon, and use it to try to invade Israel, like Hamas invaded us - murdering our citizens, killing our men, raping our women. No country will accept that.".
On Gaza, he said: "We need to decide when we will take action in Gaza, we will decide what kind with the Peace Council.".
He also referred to the Abraham Accords and said: "We surprised everyone with the agreements. There is another opportunity for peace. The geopolitical situation is changing, countries are turning to us and wanting peace.".
Towards the end of the interview, he again referred to Israel-United States relations and said: "We appreciate all the assistance we have received from the United States, but we no longer need it. Just as we no longer receive economic assistance, in the future we will no longer receive military assistance. This will be a partnership of equals.".
