Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomes US President Donald Trump’s reimposition of sanctions against Iran that are set to go into effect at midnight, Washington time.
|I congratulate President Trump and the American administration on its important decision to impose sanctions on Iran. This is an important moment for Israel, for the United States, for the region, and for the entire world,” Netanyahu says in a video-recorded statement.
“It symbolizes the determination to curb Iran’s regional aggression and its ongoing plans to arm itself with nuclear weapons,” adds the prime minister.
“I call upon the European countries, which are talking about stopping Iran, to follow suit. It’s time to stop talking, it’s time to do. That’s exactly what the US did and that’s what Europe needs to do. “
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
