‘Israel's capability sits with Donald Trump': Israel to lean on US for anti-missile defences
University of Sydney Political Scientist Professor Simon Jackman says Israel's 'capability sits with' US President Donald Trump. 'Trump has, I think, been outplayed by Netanyahu, who's sort of took this support that was coming to him from Washington,' Professor Jackman told Sky News Australia. 'Israel had a different plan all along. 'I don't think Washington quite necessarily understood the audacity and the far-reaching nature of what the Israelis had in mind'. 'Israel will be highly dependent on the US's ability to resupply their anti-missile defences.'
