No source reports an Israeli statement that it will not go to war with Iran and that the US must handle the conflict.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… You have lost that argument. Dershowitz should have cut his camera off and ran, like that guy did when he was debating, uh, Max Blumenthal. That was his best bet. Turn your camera off and go back to Epstein Island, Alan Dershowitz. Yeah, Israel, they don't even want to go to war with Iran no more. I don't know if you've seen their statement. They're like, "US? You got this." They're like Donald Trump. It's on you. You got this, bro. So you have Morandi, who designs deranged psychopaths online.

Contradicts. Those June statements express a conditional pause and a reserved right to retaliate, which is not a pledge to avoid war, so they undercut the claim's implied reading of Israel's stance.[1][2]
Context. The June 7–8, 2026 reports describe Israel and Iran pausing strikes "for now" after a flare-up, with Netanyahu warning Israel would respond "with force" if Iran attacked again and saying Israel would keep operating against Hezbollah.[1][2]
Context. Later sources (July 28 and November 1, 2026) describe Israel and the US as sharing Iran war goals and Netanyahu discussing a "historic, one-time opportunity" to topple the Iranian government, with no reported renunciation of war.[3][4]
Context. No source mentions an Israeli statement telling the US to "handle" or "got this" on the Iran conflict, so the claim's central assertion is not addressed by the record.
