Israel Focuses on American Help in Containing Iran during Trump Visit
(New York Times) Isabel Kershner - During President Trump's visit on Monday, the Israeli government is likely to be more focused on American help in containing Iran's influence in the region, former Israeli officials said. "For a long time, Israel's priority has been the Iranian threat," said Dore Gold, a former director general of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a longtime adviser to Netanyahu. "The shift that the Trump administration has made in wanting to block Iranian hegemonialism is significant for Israel."
