נתניהו ווארפט אפ די טענה אז מדנ"י קאנטראלירט אמעריקע
In a recent interview with Patrick Bet-David, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly addressed accusations that Israel exerts undue influence over American politics through organizations such as AIPAC.
When pressed on the claim that “Israel controls America,” Netanyahu dismissed the allegation as false and pointed to past U.S. presidents acting independently in their country’s own interests. “You don’t make Trump do anything,” Netanyahu remarked, underscoring that American leaders, including former President Donald Trump, have consistently pursued U.S. priorities first.
Netanyahu went on to argue that Israel’s fight against Iran is not only for its own security but also serves the broader interests of America and the West. He framed the U.S.-Israel alliance as one built on shared values and strategic necessity, rather than manipulation.
The exchange highlighted Netanyahu’s effort to push back against critics while reaffirming the depth of cooperation between the United States and Israel.
