Essential Information
- The United States launched its first missiles on Iran a little over a month ago.
- Since then, the rest of the Western world has not shown clear support for the Trump administration.
- “With Israel, the United States stands alone,” explains journalist and writer Dominique Simonnet on LCI.
The American army congratulated itself on Sunday, April 5, for managing to rescue the pilot who had been missing in Iran since Friday. He is “seriously injured,” according to Donald Trump. In any case, “this is an obvious success for the United States,” analyzes Dominique Simonnet, a writer and journalist specializing in the country.
Shortly afterwards, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the situation with praise: “Congratulations, President Trump! All Israelis rejoice in the incredible rescue of a brave American pilot by the valiant US soldiers.
“Despite this, it is clear that with Israel, the Americans are alone. Donald Trump continues to show contempt for Europe, allies, and they reciprocate,” explains Dominique Simonnet. “For example, some American planes are not allowed to fly over French territory.”
According to the journalist who knows this country well, “Donald Trump also always has this idea in mind that he does not want alliances and that the United States must fend for themselves, usually with Israel.”
