U.S. President Donald Trump Does Not Want Israel to Join the Fighting, Israeli Sources Say

Two Israeli sources said U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration does not want Israel to become involved in the fighting, citing concerns about losing control of the conflict. According to Jin10, CNN reported that one source said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to take part in U.S. strikes, but the United States currently does not want Israel to intervene. One of the sources added that Israel’s mainstream assessment was that Trump does not want to return to full-scale war. The source said the most Trump might be willing to do was to resume a naval blockade of Iranian ports.
