Trump spokesperson: He wants to see Israel’s wars end soon with decisive victory

A spokesperson for US President-elect Donald Trump says that he wants to see Israel wrap up its wars soon with decisive victories.

Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12 TV in the wake of Trump’s win, Elizabeth Pipko is asked about Trump’s comments in his victory speech where he declared, “I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.”

“He wants the wars to end as soon as possible, but he wants it to end with a decisive victory [for Israel],” Pipko says trying to allay fears in Israel that Trump could force Israel to halt the fighting against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon without achieving its war goals.

Pipko also says that the Biden administration has not been “decisive” in its support for Israel.

She declines to comment on whether Trump will give Israel a green light to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying that it was up to the incoming president to express his views on that subject and that he would do so when he takes office in January.
