Netanyahu Denies Trump Rift, Says Allies Align 99% on Blocking Iran Nuclear Arms

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 5

Summary

  • Netanyahu said reports of a break with Trump were overstated, saying the two leaders see eye-to-eye "99% of the time" even as Washington pursues nuclear talks with Tehran.
  • On Iran, he drew a hard red line: deal or no deal, Iran will not get a nuclear weapon while he is prime minister, and any acceptable outcome must remove enriched material and dismantle enrichment sites.
  • Pressed on Trump's remarks that Netanyahu "knows who the boss is" and could have "no choice" but to accept a U.S.-Iran deal, Netanyahu said disagreements are handled directly and he would judge negotiations only after they end.
  • Netanyahu also pushed back on Vice President JD Vance's warning not to attack Trump over the deal, while still calling Trump Israel's greatest friend in the White House.
  • Beyond the talks, he warned that rising antisemitism among younger Americans and anti-Israel sentiment in the U.S. threaten the broader solidarity he says underpins the U.S.-Israel alliance.
