The country\u2019s former ambassador to Israel, Michael Oren, claimed in an interview with the Israeli media that Israel did not ask US President Donald Trump for permission to attack Iran. He originally served as Israel\u2019s ambassador to the US. The former ambassador said that Israel is able to maintain this relationship with the US \u2018because there is a large population in the US that Israel can influence. There is also opposition, but there is a very strong base here, so there is a power that other countries may not have.\u2019 He added, \u2018Obama wrote this in his book. Read what he wrote in his autobiography. He wrote in the book, \u2018I could do whatever I wanted, not just with Israel. There is a reason for that.\u2019 The official added, \u2018With Trump, it works the other way around. We agree on many things, there is no problem between the two countries. Sometimes we don\u2019t even need to get approval. He (Trump) understands that we have an existential need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
