When I have to stand up for the interests of my country and the security of my country, I do so.
But he's denying he's been influencing the president. Lindsay Davis is here to walk through a sit-down interview. Dr. Anthony Fauci's first legal directive? Do no harm.

It was never, ever a thought in my mind that I would ever lose my house.
As foreclosures rise nationwide, our team investigates allegations of scams. From ABC News, this is Start Here. I'm Brad Milkey. There have been reports this week that President Trump is growing more and more frustrated by the situation in Iran, asking advisers what his options are, only to be told there aren't great ones. In the meantime, Iran is still waging war in whatever ways it can. Earlier this week, they launched strikes on U.S. troops.
What did Netanyahu tell ABC about Trump’s role in the Iran conflict?
Last night, the Trump administration threatened to strike back. This is a status quo no leader would be satisfied with. But then critics say there's Benjamin Netanyahu. I think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. The Israeli prime minister championed this war, publicly arguing for American intervention. The president himself said this week that Netanyahu wants the U.S. to stay involved. But what exactly is Netanyahu pressing Trump for? And five months into battle, what are his motivations? Well, yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu sat down with ABC's Lindsay Davis, the anchor of ABC News Live Prime. Let's go to her now, Lindsay. This is such a unique moment for Israel because Netanyahu came to Washington to pay respects to Lindsey Graham, but let's be honest, also to meet with Trump at the White House and perhaps to shore up support from the American public.
What is his overall message here? You know, what's interesting, this is the first time that President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are actually meeting in person since the war began with Iran. Remember, a war that they both estimated would potentially take four to six weeks, and now we are in excess of five months of this war in Iran without any potential for resolution in sight. And what's really interesting is that what has been clear is that Both of them have different assessments of the ultimate outcome and how at least it'll be achieved. Right. President Trump has suggested that he's really looking for a diplomatic solution. And he has said multiple times that Iran really wants to make a deal.
Prime Minister Netanyahu says he's not so sure. In fact, his actual words was he's skeptical.
Well, I don't know if it's unlikely, but, you know, I'm skeptical about Iran's, you know, mode of operandus. I mean, the method of operating. They always lie. They always cheat. And they always play for time.
But he insists that he wasn't here to try to convince President Trump to resume attacks on Iran. He described that, as a matter of fact, as a caricature of their relationship.
When you met with President Trump at the White House, did you try to persuade him to resume attacks on Iran?
Actually not. That's the caricature, the cartoon picture. That is not true.
We actually analyzed all three possibilities, and I thought we did it in an open way between friends and allies.
