Rivlin warns Netanyahu not to ‘butt heads’ with US
President Reuven Rivlin says he’s warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against butting heads with the US over Iran at the expense of Israeli interests, noting that close ties with Washington are of utmost importance to Israeli foreign policy.
Speaking to Haaretz in one of a battery of interviews given to the Hebrew press, Rivlin criticizes Netanyahu’s behavior, saying that “conflicts, even just ones, which in the end can come at the expense of the State of Israel, are things that we must be very cautious about and hold back on personally.”
