Trump Blasts Netanyahu, Accuses Him of Disloyalty
Bitter Breakup between Former Allies
Trump's Scathing Attack
Former US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on his once-close ally, ex-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of disloyalty. The feud between the two leaders has been simmering for some time, but it erupted into the open when Netanyahu criticized Trump's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Trump, who often calls himself the staunchest ally of Israel to ever sit in the Oval Office, was furious over Netanyahu's comments. He took to Twitter to vent his anger, accusing Netanyahu of being a "weak leader" and a "traitor."
Netanyahu has responded to Trump's attacks, but he has been more restrained in his language. He has said that he respects Trump and the US-Israeli alliance, but he believes that Trump has made some mistakes in his approach to the Middle East.
Hamas Criticism
One of the issues that has driven a wedge between Trump and Netanyahu is Trump's criticism of Netanyahu for failing to stop Hamas's murder of Israelis. Trump has repeatedly said that Netanyahu should have done more to crack down on Hamas, and he has even suggested that Netanyahu should resign.
Netanyahu has defended his record on Hamas, saying that he has taken aggressive action against the terrorist group. However, he has also acknowledged that Hamas is a formidable enemy, and that it will take time to defeat.
In-Person Meeting Request
Despite the tensions between them, Netanyahu has requested an in-person meeting with Trump. Netanyahu is hoping to smooth things over with Trump and to repair their relationship. However, it is unclear whether Trump will be willing to meet with Netanyahu.
The feud between Trump and Netanyahu is a significant development in the US-Israeli relationship. The two leaders have been close allies for many years, and their public falling out is a sign of the strains in the relationship.
It remains to be seen how the feud between Trump and Netanyahu will play out. However, it is clear that the relationship between the two leaders is at a crossroads.
