Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday accused European countries of standing on the sidelines during the war with Iran while benefiting from the weakening of the Islamic Republic’s military capabilities.

In an X post, the ministry shared a CNN segment with NATO chief Mark Rutte, who praised U.S. President Donald Trump for degrading Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, which he said was “really very important for your and my safety, here in the U.S., in Europe, in the Middle East.”

“This is how it always is in Europe: they stand on the sidelines. keep their distance. At times they offer disclaimers or condemnations,” the Israeli ministry tweeted.

“Yet they always benefit from the results,” the post added.

If the Iranian regime agrees to the “complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump stated.
