President Donald Trump described himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "war heroes" during an appearance on Mark Levin's show, citing his authorization of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Trump stated, "He's a war hero... I guess I am too," emphasizing his role in ordering the attacks. The remarks have drawn attention amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Trump also commented on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, asserting that while firefighters are considered heroes in broader society, Palestinian society venerates those who kill Jews. Separately, criticisms have emerged regarding Netanyahu's stance on 9/11 and his perceived disregard for American lives.
President Trump nails the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “We live in a society where firefighters are the heroes. In Palestinian society, their heroes are those who murder Jews.” https://t.co/e0essxWJGR
What possible justification is there for this, @netanyahu ? https://t.co/myUpXzS8xE
Benjamin Netanyahu was grateful for 9/11 because it eliminated a few more lives he believed weren’t worthy to exist anyway. The sooner @realDonaldTrump realizes that Netanyahu considers every American, including him, expendable, the better. https://t.co/c4uW68iSoQ
