US President Donald Trump said he will decide, together with Israel, when to end the war with Iran.
In a brief telephone interview with The Times of Israel, Trump said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be part of the decision but that Washington will have the final say.
“I think it’s mutual… a little bit,” Trump told the independent online news outlet. “We’ve been talking. I’ll make a decision at the right time, but everything’s going to be taken into account.”
Asked if Israel could continue the war after the US decides to halt its strikes, Trump added: “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary.”
