Trump Says Israel Would Have Been Crushed Without US Support
US President Donald Trump said Israel’s security in the Middle East depends heavily on American military and political support, arguing that the country would be in a far weaker position without it.
Speaking about US involvement, Trump said that without his intervention, Israel “would have been crushed,” highlighting continued American assistance as central to its defense capabilities.
He pointed to US-supplied systems such as advanced weapons, the Iron Dome, and B-2 bombers as key tools supporting Israel’s military strength.
Trump also commented on his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing it as positive and suggesting that Washington plays a major role in influencing Israeli decision-making.
He added that Israel has strong respect for the United States and is likely to take its advice seriously, reinforcing his view that US support remains central to Israel’s regional position.
