US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praises Israel for eliminating Hezbollah leaders, including military commander Fuad Shukr, who was wanted for his role in the 1983 bombing of US Marine Barracks in Lebanon. Hegseth criticizes the Biden administration for delaying weapons shipments to Israel and expresses support for President Trump's proposal for the US to take over Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasizes Israel's willingness to fight its enemies alone and argues that by confronting these enemies, they are also protecting the US.
