United States launched the first missiles on Iran just 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 the LCI platform.
The American army congratulated itself on Sunday, April 5, for successfully rescuing the pilot who had been missing in Iran since Friday. According to Donald Trump, he is “seriously injured.” In any case, “here, it is a clear success for the United States,” analyzes Dominique Simonnet, writer and journalist specializing in the country.
Shortly after, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted positively, saying, “Congratulations, President Trump! All Israelis rejoice in the incredible rescue of a brave American pilot by the valiant soldiers of the United States.”
“Nevertheless, despite Israel, Americans are alone. Donald Trump keeps showing disdain for Europe, allies. And allies return the favor,” explains Dominique Simonnet. “For example, some American planes are not authorized to fly over French territory.”
According to the journalist familiar with this country at heart, “there is also always this idea in Donald Trump’s mind that he does not want alliances and that the United States must fend for itself, usually with Israel.”
