What happened
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied a rift with President Donald Trump in a Fox News interview Sunday, saying the U.S. and Israel share the goal of ending Iran’s capacity to obtain nuclear weapons. He said Israel would maintain its position “deal or no deal” as Washington pursues nuclear talks with Tehran that some Israeli officials have criticized. Netanyahu also rejected Vice President JD Vance’s claim that the U.S. is Israel’s only powerful ally, saying Israel has “many friends,” including India.
