US President Donald Trump said he would speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before making any decisions about ending the ongoing conflict with Iran.
In a telephone interview with The Times of Israel on Sunday , Trump said the two leaders were in regular contact on the matter and that he would make a decision at the appropriate time.
In the interview, he was asked whether Israel would go to war against Iran alone if the US stopped its military operations. Trump declined to answer the question directly. “I don’t think that would be necessary,” he said.
The strategic coordination between the United States and Israel is under international discussion amid rising tensions in the Middle East. According to analysts, the positions of the two countries could have a significant impact on potential military or diplomatic decisions.
