Hegseth rejected the notion that Netanyahu could pull Trump into conflict, asserting that Trump leads based on American interests. He acknowledged that while Israel may have different objectives, the direction of U.S. policy is firmly in Trump's hands. Hegseth reinforced the importance of American leadership in the region and the partnership with Israel.
