Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview in Hebrew with i24NEWS on Tuesday, bragged about how he has defied America with impunity and dragged us into war after war.


Commanders and security forces in Israel didn't want to go into Rafah but "I said we were going in, in the face of an American embargo by the US president," Netanyahu told the Israeli news outlet.

"They said we shouldn't do the pager operation, or at least we should tell the Biden administration beforehand, and I said, no. We're going in and doing it," Netanyahu said. "The same thing happened with the elimination of [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah."

"They said that we had to tell the Americans and that meant that it wouldn't happen. It could be leaked. I said, no," he added.

On launching a war with Iran, Netanyahu said it had to be done -- regardless of what the US wanted -- to stop Iran from getting nukes.

"It was mandatory to do it and there were high-ranking officials in our security establishment who said, 'that's fine, we should of course act, but we need approval from the Americans.' And I said, no. With or without approval, it doesn't matter ... with or without approval -- we are doing it," Netanyahu said.

He also said Israel is making plans to finish the job in Iran "with the Americans, or without the Americans."

Netanyahu knows our government will do whatever he wants (the partial arms "embargo" the Biden administration enacted was all for show to try and quell domestic uproar over he and Kamala Harris' support for Israel's genocide campaign). He also knows our media won't even report on statements like these where he's openly bragging about owning us.

We pay for Israel's military and supply nearly all of their weapons -- they openly mock us as "thanks."

That is our "special relationship."

During the same interview, Netanyahu's also said he's "very much" attached to the vision of "Greater Israel."


i24NEWS only translated half this 31 minute interview for their English audience and cut that statement out.
