Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised United States President Donald Trump, describing him as a decisive leader and saying the world is fortunate to have him in office.
Speaking on Monday amid heightened tensions involving Iran, Netanyahu said there has “never been a president like Donald J. Trump,” pointing to what he described as Trump’s resoluteness, clarity and readiness to take firm action.
According to him, Trump “cuts through all the fluff” and concentrates on steps he considers necessary.
Netanyahu said Israel and other nations in what he termed the “free world” are fortunate to have Trump’s leadership, crediting him with restoring America’s global influence.
“And I think for Israel and I think for the countries of the free world, let me tell you, I think for the world.
“We’re very lucky to have him as the leader of the free world, and in fact the leader of world. He’s brought America back to being the leader of the world,” Netanyahu stated.
On the justification for recent strikes on Iran, Netanyahu accused the Iranian government of long-standing hostility toward the United States.
He alleged that Iran has spent decades promoting anti-American rhetoric and claimed it has been linked to attacks on US embassies and plots targeting American leaders.
Netanyahu further described Iran as a regime that spreads terror globally and is committed to undermining the United States.
