Trump wants Israel to take the punch and not punch back at Iran


Upon learning that Iran, unprovoked, fired missiles at Israel, President Trump said: I’m calling Netanyahu ‘right now… to tell him not to retaliate’ for Iran’s missile attacks."

Thankfully there were no reports of injury or damage after ten missiles were fired at the Jewish state. Trump, ever the deal-maker, said he doesn't want the Iran deal to get "blown up." He also said that he isn't happy that Israel targeted Hezbollah in Beirut earlier.

The Transportation Ministry says that buses around the country will operate at 75% of their usual activity today amid renewed missile attacks from Iran and the cancellation of schools.

The ministry says that, in accordance with Home Front Command instructions, the light rails in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as the Israeli Railways train system will operate as usual.

Schools will also be closed tomorrow.

According to Hebrew media outlets, underground light rail stations in central Israel will remain open overnight for those who want to use them as bomb shelters.

After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s phone conversation with US President Donald Trump ended,, the premier held a discussion with top security officials, according to Hebrew media reports.

Trump said earlier that he'd call Netanyahu to tell him not to retaliate against Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on the north as Washington aims for a deal with Tehran, after Israeli officials vowed a strong response to the attacks.


Following Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel, the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories says crossings with the Gaza Strip will remain closed until further notice.

As much as I like most of what President Trump has done and is doing, I cannot understand how he would want Israel to be attacked, whether successfully or not, and stand by doing nothing. Israel has the absolute right to defend itself. I know if the shoe were on the other foot, aka the missiles in the other country, ours, President Trump would retaliate with shock and freaking awe.
