Israel's National Security Adviser: We Are Not Afraid to Differ with U.S. on Iran
(Times of Israel) Israeli National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata says Israel isn't hesitating to air differences of opinion regarding how to counter the Iranian threat. Hulata told Channel 13: "President Biden has said the whole time that he prefers a diplomatic solution, but that in the absence of other solutions, he will use military force against Iran. I've heard the U.S. president say this, and one of his famous sayings is that 'powers don't bluff' - so this should be taken seriously." "We aren't afraid to tell the Americans that we think differently, or to even act in Iran. Israel will act as it sees fit. We've acted quite a lot in Iran over the past year, and the U.S. is backing us. We are acting with logic and responsibility, and everyone can see this isn't harming the relationship between the U.S. president and Israel - on the contrary."
