Netanyahu could use \u200ba &#8220;softer touch&#8221; in the \u2060fight against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, Trump said, in his latest public rebuke of the U.S. partner in the war against Iran.<\/div>\n<div>Trump and Iranian leaders approved a memorandum of understanding this \u200bweek that deferred the hardest issues to the next phase of negotiations, with no guarantee they \u200bwill ever \u2060be resolved.<\/div>\n<div>Citing specific critics of the deal \u2014 far-right Israeli cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich \u2014 Vance said: &#8220;I guess my response to them would be: What is your exact proposal? You\u2019re a country of 9 million people. You can\u2019t just kill your \u2060way out \u200bof solving every single national security problem that you have.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Ben-Gvir responded in \u200ba post on X: &#8220;This is the proposal, @JDVance: To deal with the Nazis of the 21st century, just as the United States dealt with the Nazis \u200bof the 20th century.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2322\">Wall St advances as Iran deal optimism offsets hawkish Fed;
