While Trump and Netanyahu were close allies for years, the former president turned on the embattled Israel leader after Netanyahu congratulated then-President-elect Biden for winning the 2020 election while Trump was still trying to overturn the results. In interviews for a book about his Middle East peace efforts, Trump, according to its author, used an expletive to describe Netanyahu and said he believed the Israeli leader never really wanted to make peace.
Ari Fleischer, the former White House press secretary who serves on the board of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said he wished Trump would “let his personal grievances with Bibi, whatever they are, slide for now.”
“I think it’s just a reflection that for Donald Trump, everything is personal,” Fleischer said. “But despite it, I’ll never forget and no one should forget Trump has been good for Israel.” Trump has long said that he did more to support Israel than any previous president, pointing to his decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
Others were less forgiving.
“I think it is another sign that Trump’s impulsiveness plays into the hands of those who are not his friends,” said Erick Erickson, a conservative radio host and Trump critic. “He’s given a propaganda win to a terrorist group. That’s unfortunate.”
White House spokesman Andrew Bates called Trump’s statements “dangerous and unhinged,” while the Israeli communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, told Israel’s Channel 13 that it was “shameful that a man like that, a former U.S. president, abets propaganda and disseminates things that wound the spirit of Israel’s fighters and its citizens.”
Netanyahu’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

America is the ONLY Nation that codified that rights come from GOD, which is whysatan hates it so much.
And yet, humans can still take those rights away.
Not the first time Bibi screwed up…..maybe this is a better source
No, they can’t. That was the point of the Revelution, and the point NOW.
Trump thinks everyone is out to get him. No, it’s just the Dems and the Never Trumpers.
You nailed it.
Unfortunately, Biden's current threats show that while Bibi's instincts were correct, he was in a no-win position with an anti-MAGA admin.
What god given right can not be taken away by humans?
Everything in the Bill of Rights.
And look what Netanyahu got for sucking up to Brandon.
Are you mocking what you mentioned?
So the first 10 amendments then.
Ok.
First question would be if god gave those rights why aren’t they listed in the Bible?
Second question would be something like how would god enforce the rights of someone who would be deprived of their right to be free from excessive bails and punishments, just to name one?
And, if god is the creator and protector of all humans created in his image, why would he afford those rights to roughly 5% of the population?
You wan’t the real answer: GOD has a special relationship with 2 Nations: Israel because he chose them, and The United States, because he has used it to spread the gospel, and bless the world.
All righty then. There’s a winning argument.
More made up BS.
However, when I actually looked into the Old Testament in detail, it ALSO repeatedly says that Israel STRAYED from God's word OVER and OVER again, and that God was enraged with Israel and punished them SEVERELY for it.
So where they get this bizarro "Israel is NEVER wrong, God says so!" stuff is beyond me, it can't be from EITHER Testament of the Bible.
In any case, looking it objectively without any religious backdrop, Israel's domestic policies (guns, abortion, the gay mafia, etc.) are absolutely terrible, and no matter how much lip service Netanyuahu and other Israeli "Conservatives" give us, their beliefs have much more common in UK with European style "Conservatives" (Socialist Lite) than American conservativism they CLAIM to hold near and dear to their hearts.
And even putting all THAT stuff aside, Bibi was one of the FIRST "World leaders" to throw Trump under the bus, AFTER Trump was the best President Bibi ever had. Pretty much proves Bibi only cares about Bibi.
Of course I support Israel's right to exist and hope they wipe out the insane Islamofacists, but I'm under no delusions how "good" their "conservative" government is!
No, GOD still loves and has a Covenant with Israel, but not for Salvation. GOD will judge them, but only he can. My probl problem with Netenyahu is that he has been TOO couchos.
