Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a government session on Monday, April 13, that Israel "supports the firm position of President Donald Trump to impose a naval blockade on Iran," adding that "the fighting continues all the time… and there is constant coordination between us and the United States."
Netanyahu added, according to a statement issued by his office, "I spoke yesterday with Vice President J.D. Vance, who called me from his plane while returning from Islamabad. He briefed me in detail, as officials of this administration do daily, on the developments of the negotiations – and in this case, their collapse." He said, "The collapse came from the American side, which could not accept the blatant violation of the agreement by Iran to enter into negotiations. The agreement stipulated a ceasefire, and that the Iranians would immediately open the straits – but they did not do so, and the Americans could not accept this." Netanyahu added, "As he explained to me, the central issue for President Trump and the United States is to remove all enriched materials, and to ensure that no enrichment begins in the coming years – and perhaps for decades – inside Iran. This is their focus, and of course it is also important to us."
