Trump Says War's End to Be Decided “Jointly” with Netanyahu, Reserves Final Call for Himself

President Donald Trump said in a phone interview with Times of Israel on Sunday that the decision on when to end the war with Iran will be made “jointly” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while reserving the final say for himself “at the right time.” Trump credited the US-Israel alliance for preventing Iran from destroying Israel, stating: “We together destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel.” When asked whether Israel might continue fighting Iran after the US halts its strikes, Trump sidestepped, saying “I don’t think that will be necessary.”
