An hour before we are supposed to sign the deal,” he added.Trump said the strike had “delayed the signing by a few hours.”Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel war against Iran in late February, the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror group has launched near-daily explosive drone and missile attacks on northern Israel.Israel’s Defense Ministry pledged that any attack on Israeli territory would be met with strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Dahiyeh, a suburb of Beirut.Israel carried out such a strike on Sunday afternoon after Hezbollah drones targeted areas near civilian communities in northern Israel. No injuries were reported.Despite threatening retaliation over the attack, Iran ultimately refrained from striking Israel.On Tuesday morning, Iran’s Security Council confirmed that the Memorandum of Understanding had been finalized, formally ending the war between Iran and the United States.The post Trump on Netanyahu: ‘A difficult guy, with no f—ing judgment’ appeared first on World Israel News.
