Summary
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sean Hannity’s podcast that Israel is the “junior partner” to President Donald Trump but that the two leaders work together with “tremendous respect.”
The Israeli prime minister rejected claims that either man controls the other, saying they do not agree on every issue but stay aligned on the main ones.
Trump’s blunt style is a key reason the relationship works, Netanyahu said, praising the president as an “irreverent” leader whose instincts are “always on target.”
The remarks frame the U.S.-Israel alliance as close despite periodic disagreements, with Netanyahu pointing to shared priorities including blocking Iran’s nuclear ambitions and pursuing Middle East peace.
