Netanyahu praises Trump’s ‘tough stand’ against Iran
JERUSALEM, July 23, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu on Monday praised President Donald Trump’s “tough stand” against
Iran after the US leader issued a stark warning to the Islamic republic.
“I would like to praise the tough stand expressed yesterday by President
Trump and Secretary of State (Mike) Pompeo against the aggression of the
Iranian regime,” Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting.
Iran is Israel’s main enemy and Netanyahu has long pushed for a tougher
stand against it by international powers.
