Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that Israel follows his instructions. Netanyahu said both leaders represent independent countries and make decisions based on their national interests. His remarks came after Trump said Israel “does as I say” during an interview. Netanyahu said the two leaders often agree but sometimes have different views. He stressed that both countries respect each other's sovereignty and leadership. The comments come amid growing discussions over the US-Iran agreement and regional tensions. Recent reports suggest differences remain between some Israeli leaders and the US administration.
