JD:
... pointed to criticism of the deal from Israeli officials,
including far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar
Ben-Gvir.
rCLAnd I guess my response to them would be: What is your exact
proposal? YourCOre a country of nine million people. You canrCOt just
kill your way out of solving every single national security
problem that you have,rCY he said.
He called on Israel to let negotiations play out, and to rCLgive a
little bit of credit to the United States of America, which I
think has been an incredible partner for the Israeli government
for a long timerCY.
Woah! Burn.
Trump:
rCLYou donrCOt have to knock down an apartment house every time yourCOre
looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those
apartment houses, and theyrCOre not all Hezbollah,rCY he said.
But will it last, though? Some are saying Trump is setting up JD to be
the fall guy if the Iran deal proves to be too unpopular with his
followers ...
