Trump: Israel Is America's Great Ally, Whether People Like It or Not

US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed the alliance between the United States and Israel, declaring the latter to be a great ally of America, irrespective of public opinion on the matter.

The comments were shared on the Truth Social platform, where Trump outlined his views in detail. He characterized Israel as brave, bold, loyal and smart. The US president pointed to Israel's actions and determination during the war with Iran as evidence of these qualities, contrasting it with other parties that he said have revealed their true character when faced with difficult circumstances.

Specifically, Trump addressed the position taken by NATO concerning the joint military campaign by the US and Israel against Iran. He noted that Israel has demonstrated its capability to fight effectively and achieve success in the conflict.

The statements follow a report by The New York Times which indicated that Israel played a key role in encouraging the United States to participate in the war against Iran.

The New York Times report and the subsequent US involvement have led to increased criticism within the country. A number of American figures and Democratic members of Congress have strongly criticized the decision, focusing on the influence exerted by Israel on the Trump administration.
