The Israeli prime minister’s brief statement added that “right now, the fire has been halted.” 
It was his first public statement since Iran fired missiles at Israel late Sunday. 
They were intercepted. 
Netanyahu asserted Israel’s right to self-defense, “and I say this with appreciation and respect in my good conversations with my friend President Trump.” 
Netanyahu appears to have openly defied Trump with a strike in Beirut on Sunday and then retaliatory attacks against Iran.
