A day after reports suggested that US President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to eliminate Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that such an action would swiftly bring the conflict to a close and would make the “Middle East great again."

“It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict," Netanyahu told ABC News when questioned about Trump’s reported refusal, which was reportedly based on fears of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
