Trump says ending war will be mutual decision with Netanyahu

Donald Trump stated that the decision to end the war with Iran will be a “mutual” agreement made with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to The Times of Israel. In a short phone interview, the US president claimed that without him and Netanyahu, Iran would have destroyed Israel. He remarked, “Iran was going to destroy Israel and everything else around it... We’ve worked together. We’ve destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel.” When asked if he would be the only one to decide when the war with Iran should end, or if Netanyahu would also have input, he replied, “I think it’s mutual... a little bit. We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account.” When questioned if Israel would continue the war even if the US chose to stop its attacks, Trump refrained from speculating but added, “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary.”
