Reports: Israel willing to join US strikes on Iran, waiting for Trump okay

Some in Israel want to join the US-Iran flare-up and renew strikes on the Islamic Republic, but are waiting for a go-ahead from US President Donald Trump, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

The unsourced report says officials in Jerusalem estimate that the mutual attacks between the US and Iran will continue in the next few days.

Similarly, The New York Post quotes a Jerusalem source as saying Israel is interested in joining future strikes and fully renewing the war.

“We’re willing to do it again, if needed,” the unnamed source is quoted as saying on Wednesday, before the US began striking Iran.

The source adds that while Israel is “not eager to go back to the day when people have to go to shelters,” it doesn’t want to “ignore what’s happening in Iran.”

“So if that will be the price we’ll have to pay, we will bear with that situation.”
