Trump calls Israeli PM a ‘war hero’, and adds ‘I am too’
US President Donald Trump has described himself as a "war hero" and praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "good man" and fellow "war hero" during a radio interview.
Trump, who evaded the Vietnam War draft, justified giving himself the label on The Mark Levin Show on Tuesday because of his decisions about the use of military force.
He said he was working with Netanyahu - who is under an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes - to free hostages being held by Hamas.
