Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to “finish the job” against Iran with the support of US President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu was speaking alongside US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is visiting Israel in his first official trip to the region since assuming the role.

“Over the last 16 months, Israel has dealt a mighty blow to Iran’s terror axis. Under the strong leadership of President Trump… I have no doubt that we can and will finish the job,” Netanyahu said.

Rubio said that there “could never be a nuclear Iran.”

Rubio’s trip coincided with the US sending a shipment of heavy bombs to Israel. The munitions were sent after Trump’s administration last month lifted a hold on the deliveries, Israel’s Ministry of Defense said Sunday.

Israel’s defense minister Israel Katz said the shipment of MK-84 munitions “represents a significant asset for the Air Force and the IDF and serves as further evidence of the strong alliance between Israel and the United States,” in a statement from his ministry. Katz thanked Trump and the US administration for their “unwavering support.”

Trump will settle Iran/Israel in consultation with Putin. There will be NO US occupation of Gaza, NO attack on Iran.

Netanyahu, politically, is a dead man walking. Trump recognizes the obvious. Bibi is like Z to Trump, a pain in the arse and a hindrance to implementing Trump’s world vision.

The only thing you got right in your post is that there’ll be no US occupation of Gaza.

Don’t stop there. Give Bibi s wing of B1 bombers or better yet, lease us a base, but Gaza must be razed first.

“Netanyahu, politically, is a dead man walking”

in what reality are you speaking in? you sound like those “trump will never be president” compilation videos

you sound like a democrat with your “oh we REALLY got him this time” mindset

Bibi and Trump have countless similarities
Bibi is on 3.0 and Trump is on 2.0
They were both dethroned by nefarious players
They are both under judicial lawfare attacks
Their opponents have a sick Derangement Syndrome about them
Their opponents rhetoric have led to assassination attempts against both of them
They have both have deep-states fighting against them

but we know — you have Israel and you hate jews. it’s okay

Well OK, but what happened to Bibi’s promise to destroy Hamas? Or is that part of the Iran deal?

Interesting comment, but I agree with almost none of it.

Netanyahu as PM has never delivered on his military or political promises. No end of Hamas or Hezbollah, no judicial reform most recently.

No faith in God and certainly no fear of God is Netanyahu’s problem.

Learned of this as a child some 65-years ago. It was something like Winnie’s “state of the island” speech.

February 9, 1941
BBC broadcast by Winston Churchill
“Ship of State” Speech

“The other day, President Roosevelt gave his opponent in the late Presidential Election [Mr. Wendell Willkie] a letter of introduction to me, and in it he wrote out a verse, in his own handwriting, from Longfellow, which he said, “applies to you people as it does to us.” Here is the verse:
‘. . .Sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!’
What is the answer that I shall give, in your name, to this great man, the thrice-chosen head of a nation of a hundred and thirty millions? Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt:
‘Put your confidence in us. Give us your faith and your blessing, and, under Providence, all will be well.
We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.’ ”

What's the matter, little baby? Screwing Ukraine for Russian aggression was not enough for you? Now we screw Israel for the worldwide Jihad? The Same Jihad that is subverting, colonizing Europe via immigration and high birthrates.

Yep. There’s a toxic (but thankfully relatively small) strain among conservatives that despises Bibi or any strong Israeli leader or policy because, for whatever reason, they feel uncomfortable when Jews stand up for themselves and refuse to be victimized. The same strange phenomenon exists on the Left, of course, but they also hate Bibi because, in their words, “he’s the Israeli version of Trump.”
