Trump tells Israel 'not to worry' about the renewed fighting with Iran

In a phone interview with Israel's Kan broadcaster, Trump said 'Israel should not worry... because I'm the president and I will take care of Israel,' as Iran struck US-linked targets across the region but not Israel. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF was ready to strike Iran 'with great force' if attacked, while Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel had no plans to join the war for now.

Why it matters

Israel has stayed out of the latest US-Iran exchanges, and Katz's warning makes an Iranian strike on Israel the trigger that would widen the war.
