Israel’s ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, described President Donald Trump’s warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over further Iran strikes as a “lovers’ spat”
Iran and Israel have reportedly paused hostilities after exchanging a series of strikes that triggered fears of a wider Middle East war. The de-escalation came after US President Donald Trump’s warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that continued military action could jeopardise support from Washington.
Dismissing reports of a rift between the two leaders, Israel’s Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, on Tuesday downplayed Trump’s warning to Israel’s Netanyahu over Tehran strikes as a “lovers’ spat”.
Speaking to Fox News, he said, “They have a deep friendship that goes back some 40 years, and sometimes lovers have a spat, and sometimes the tension in the room and in the conversation can get a little heated,” Leiter said on Fox News.
Leiter accepted that the Israeli leader “decided” to “lower the temperature” on military action against Tehran at the request of Trump, but added that the US president understands “full well” Israel can’t “absorb ballistic missiles into our country without responding”.
