Trump mentions Israel's 'limited capacity' to continue fighting in deciding US involvement in conflict
President Donald Trump said Israel has "very limited capacity" to continue fighting without help from the U.S. and "Europe would not be able to help," when asked about negotiations with Iran on Friday.
Trump reiterated that his decision on U.S. involvement will take "two weeks maximum."
"Sometimes you need toughness to make peace," Trump said.
Trump also said it would be "very hard" to ask Israel to stop its attacks on Iran as different parties pursue diplomacy.

Iran's foreign minister said on Friday that Israel must stop its "crimes and aggression" and added that Iran will not negotiate with any party as long as Israeli attacks continue.
"I think it is very hard to make that request right now," Trump told reporters about asking Israel to stop attacking Iran. "If someone is winning it's harder to do than if someone is losing. But we are ready and willing and able, and have been speaking to Iran and we will see what happens."
Trump also refuted comments made earlier this month by National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard who said there was no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon, saying "she's wrong."
