Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Trump administration reports to him every day about the ongoing war in Iran.

In a meeting with Israel’s Cabinet ministers, Netanyahu said, “I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.”

Netanyahu went on to claim that the U.S. broke off the negotiations because Iran didn’t immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and wouldn’t commit to getting rid of all of its enriched uranium.

    Is Netanyahu saying Israel is pulling Trump’s strings? That guy’s repeating an anti-semitic conspiracy theory!

        It’s a joke about Zionists claiming anyone who says Israel persuaded Trump to do this stupid illegal war is antisemitic. Which is a claim Zionists are definitely making.

        I think that was the implication, but no harm in making it explicit
