'Trump won't tell us don't': Israelis divided on whether US president controls Israel's decisions

Israelis in the northern town of Nahariya offered sharply different views on how US President Donald Trump shapes their country's actions, with some saying he controls Netanyahu and others insisting Israel answers to no one. "Daddy Trump says stop, so they stop. Daddy Trump says continue, so they continue and we have a 'yesman' [Netanyahu], who does what he's told,” said Yonatan Azoulay. In contrast, Yosi Marko said “In the end we will do what we want… we'll carry out strikes anywhere in the world." Support stories that matter.
