US President Donald Trump said that Washington must keep Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a little bit sane” on Lebanon, Anadolu Agency reports.
While describing their relationship as “good,” Trump, in an Axios interview excerpt posted on Friday, asserted he can control Israeli military actions in Lebanon because officials there “do as I say.”
He emphasized American military superiority, noting that the US provides “the guns” and “B-2 bombers,” and claimed that without his intervention, Israel would have been “eviscerated.”
