Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's statement that "the last person we will ask for help is Zelensky," a striking claim has emerged from the Israeli press. It has been reported that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu requested a phone call with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to discuss defense cooperation against Iran's drones.
While the war between the US and Israel and Iran continues, a striking claim has emerged from the Israeli press. An Israeli official speaking to the news site "Times of Israel" stated that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu requested a phone call with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
ISRAELI PRESS: NETANYAHU WANTS TO MEET
The official in question refrained from providing details about the content of the requested meeting. Another Israeli news site, "Ynet," reported that Netanyahu wanted to discuss defense cooperation against the Iranian drones that Ukraine has been struggling with for years.
The inability to prevent some of Iran's retaliatory attacks on Israel using missiles and drones has raised questions about Israel's defense capabilities. The US-based news site Semafor brought up the claim that Israel's stock of preventive defense missiles has critically decreased, citing US government officials.
TRUMP: THE LAST PERSON WE WILL ASK FOR HELP IS ZELENSKY
Criticizing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky regarding peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, Trump stated, "I was surprised that Zelensky does not want to make a deal. Tell Zelensky to make a deal because Putin is ready to make a deal. It is much harder to make a deal with Zelensky."
Regarding Zelensky's offer for assistance to US forces and allies in the Middle East to counter Iranian drones, Trump commented, "We do not need help. The last person we will ask for help is Zelensky."
Trump also commented on the allegations that Russia shared intelligence with Iran about the position of US forces, saying, "Russia may be providing information, or maybe not." He added that the US has done something similar against Russia, stating that his country "has provided some information to Ukraine and is trying to achieve peace between the two countries."
