Benjamin Netanyahu praised Donald Trump's stance on the Israel-Iran conflict during a visit to a hospital earlier today.

The Israeli prime minister said: "President Trump will do what's best for America.

"I trust his judgement, he is a tremendous friend, a tremendous world leader, a tremendous friend of Israel and the Jewish people.

"And we will do what we have to do, and we are doing it. We are committed to destroying the threat of a nuclear annihilation against Israel.

"But I have to say that the partnership with the United States, the partnership with President Trump, with whom I speak to almost every day, is incredible.

"I think his resolve, his determination and his clarity when he says Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and for that to take place, Iran cannot enrich uranium.

"It's as simple as that. He gave them the chance to do it through negotiations, they strung them along.

"You don't string along Donald Trump, you know, he knows the game, and I think that we're both committed to making sure that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and they won't."
