Netanyahu warns Israel may have to face Iran without US backing – i24News
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned his security cabinet that Israel could reach a point where it would have to confront Iran without US support, i24NEWS reported Tuesday.
At a cabinet meeting on Monday, Netanyahu said Israel might be forced to “deal alone with the Iranians,” without American backing and with the resulting costs, including ammunition shortages and increased international isolation. “We do not want to get there, but we know we could get there,” he was quoted as saying.
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir also reportedly cautioned ministers against the emerging agreement with Iran, saying, “As we see it now, almost any agreement is a bad agreement.”
The i24NEWS report followed Axios reporting a day earlier that US President Donald Trump said he had warned Netanyahu Israel could be left to face Iran alone if fighting escalated into a full-scale war.
