Netanyahu's 60 Minutes interview with Major Garrett: full timeline, controversies and what was actually said
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down on Saturday with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett for a 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday, May 10, 2026 — his first U.S. broadcast since the U.S.-Israel-Iran war began on February 28, 2026 and now in its 11th week — and used the on-camera time to call the Iran war 'not over' until enriched uranium is physically removed from Iranian soil, to confirm Donald Trump told him 'I want to go in there', to reject parts of a New York Times account of a February 11 Situation Room conversation, to announce a decade-long plan to draw U.S. military aid down to 'zero' from the current $3.8 billion a year, to attribute Israel's reputational decline (Pew now puts unfavorable U.S. views of Israel at 60 percent, up nearly 20 points in four years) almost entirely to social media as the 'eighth front' of the war, and to push back on a personal characterisation he said reduces him to a man with a 'hunger for conflict'.
