Netanyahu Says He Spoke With Trump Three Times Since Election
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that he’s spoken with President-elect Donald Trump three times since his election victory last week and that they were on the same page on Iran.
“These were very good and important conversations,” Netanyahu said. “We see eye to eye on the Iranian threat in all its components and the danger it poses. We also see the great opportunities that Israel faces, in the field of peace and its expansion, and in other areas.”
Netanyahu was one of the first foreign leaders to call Trump on his election victory and is likely trying to influence the president-elect to continue providing support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.
