JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played down the impact of hawkish John Bolton’s exit from the post of U.S. national security adviser, predicting on Wednesday that Washington would hold to a tough line on Iran.

Netanyahu was among the most vocal champions of Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers and has voiced misgivings about Western engagement with Tehran unless this leads to sweeping restrictions on sensitive nuclear projects. Netanyahu, waving off commentators who deemed Bolton’s departure a blow to him and to Israel, cited new U.S. sanctions against Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps that were announced shortly after Trump tweeted about Bolton’s departure.
