President Donald Trump signaled a deepening rift with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by claiming "there would be no Israel" without him in a stinging rebuke at the G7 (Group of Seven) summit. Trump has displayed increasing frustration with his ally in recent weeks as the United States attempted to strike a peace deal with Iran, before an agreement was eventually reached on Sunday. Trump and Netanyahu ordered joint United States and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 with the stated aim of destroying the Islamic Republic's ability to make a nuclear weapon. Speaking alongside Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the summit of the world's biggest economies in vian-les-Bains, France, Trump said: "Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did." |
