Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his differences with US President Donald Trump, saying that there were times when both could not see eye to eye. Public differences between the two were visible during the Iran deal, especially when the US President was attempting to broker a peace deal with Tehran and was blocked by Israel’s continued aggression against Lebanon.The Times of Israel quoted Netanyahu as saying, “There are times when we see eye to eye, and there are times when we see less than eye to eye. I am responsible for Israel’s security interests. I stand up for them.”He also said that the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran had saved his country from the threat of “nuclear annihilation” of the Islamic Republic.“The most important thing is that we saved the State of Israel from the threat of nuclear annihilation,” Netanyahu said.He said, “And what would that mean? It would mean that millions of Israeli citizens – you who are listening to me right now – would all be in terrible danger of mass death… and we have turned this threat of annihilation of the Israeli population away from us for years.”Netanyahu vowed that, regardless of the terms of any agreement, Iran would never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.“With or without a deal, Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” he said.He said, “I made no mistake at all… We said we wanted to remove the existential threat to us: first, the nuclear threat – and we did that, second, the missile threat – and we did that.”Netanyahu made his first public comments since the US and Iran announced a deal earlier this week to end the Middle East war.
