The first round of peace talks between America and Iran was held in Bergenstock, Switzerland. Due to Israel’s action on Lebanon and Trump’s threat, this meeting lasted only 80 minutes. Now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given a blunt answer on the peace deal between America and Iran and his relations with Trump. He has made it clear that he will take whatever steps are necessary for the safety of the Israeli people. Netanyahu made it clear that ‘I cannot do everything that Trump wants’.
Iran had raised questions about Israel’s attack on Lebanon during peace talks and strongly condemned it. But Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has clearly said that his action against Hezbollah will continue. While giving a speech at the JNS Summit in Jerusalem, Netanyahu gave a message to Trump through gestures and made it clear that he will do whatever is necessary to protect the people of Israel.
Our fight is not with Lebanon – Netanyahu
Regarding the attack on Lebanon, Netanyahu said, “We do everything possible to protect our people. Our fight is not with Lebanon. Our fight is with Hezbollah, which spreads terror in Lebanon and wants to destroy us. And when this proxy (representative) of Iran is no longer a threat, when it is eliminated, when its weapons are taken away, then yes, there will be peace with Lebanon. I am ready to sign that agreement. I am waiting.”
What did Netanyahu say on Iran-America peace deal?
On the Iran–US peace deal, Benjamin Netanyahu said, “No matter what happens in the negotiations, whether there is a deal or not, I promise you that as long as I am prime minister, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Never. As long as I am prime minister of Israel, I will not let that happen. As long as we need to protect our people, we will remain in the security zone of southern Lebanon. No country will be asked to do anything else other than that.”
Netanyahu asked this question to America?
Netanyahu continued, “Now just imagine that across the border from America there is an army of thousands, thousands of terrorists who attack your cities and towns with rockets, ballistic missiles and killer drones. They kill your soldiers, kill your civilians, kill your children and threaten them every day. So, what will America do?”
Questioning the US, Netanyahu said, “Will he say we can’t do anything? Let’s stop the attack? Would the US say that? No. You know very well what the US will do. It will cross the border, create a security zone, kill terrorists and protect its people until the threat passes. That’s exactly what we are doing. Our biggest success is breaking the wall of fear.”
I don’t do everything Trump wants – Netanyahu
At the same time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke openly about his relationship with Trump. He clearly said in his speech that we both are leaders of independent countries and cannot always fulfill each other’s wishes. Netanyahu said, people understand that the American President and I work according to each other. But this is not true. Trump doesn’t do everything I want, nor do I do everything Trump wants. Sometimes we have the same opinion. So sometimes each other’s opinion is different.
