Israeli Deputy Counsel Saar to Newsmax: Israel Protecting US, World

Israel’s airstrikes on Iran are an attempt to protect itself, the U.S. and the world, Tsach Saar, Israeli deputy consul general in New York, told Newsmax on Monday.

During an appearance on “Wake Up America,” Saar told co-host Marc Lotter, “For the Iranian regime, America First means something totally different,” Saar said. “If you just see the chance, even, you know, talking about the negotiations, it’s not in good faith. They are calling for the destruction also of the United States.

“Go to the Houthis. Just imagine the Houthis getting nuclear capabilities from the Iranians. The flag of the Houthis says very clearly, death to America, death to Israel. America First. … There’s a lot of work still to be done in Iran to remove this threat not only to Israel, not only to the region in the Middle East, but also to the world.”
