Benjamin Netanyahu signals move away from US as Trump tensions explode over Iran war
Express US through AOL ^ | 7/10/2026 | Mataeo Smith

Israeli Prime Minister suggested he's breaking away from the U.S. and forming a new alliance with India as Tel-Aviv and Washington butt heads over the former's strikes in Lebanon.

The eyebrow-raising comments come as the apparent rift between the U.S. and Israel widens during the 4-month war with Iran. "You have to build new alliances and develop new relationships. That's what I'm doing right now with India," Netanyahu told Sharon Gal, a prominent right-wing journalist in Israel.

Last month, Israeli officials denounced the fragile peace deal struck between the U.S and Iran, which seemed to disturb Vice President JD Vance, who told them not to badmouth "the only powerful ally" the Jewish state was "left" with "anywhere in the world." It comes after Netanyahu's son humiliated him by legally distancing himself from the Israeli leader with a surprising name change.

Does Israel think that if a Dem became President they would do any better. Trust me, if ANY commie got into office the first thing they would do is make sure that the US is officially done with Israel..also, I dont see India chipping in and offering to go to war with Iran

“suggested he’s breaking away from the U.S. and forming a new alliance with India”

Simple truths are often said in common language.

Let India pay the bills.
I wonder which group will steal the most from the other side?

I happen to know why Israel thinks India would be an incredibly valueable ally, even much more so than the USA.

Watch this video, it is the same one that inspired Netanyahu to pursue this relationship, and why large numbers of Israelis are visiting India now:

If Section 219 of the Defense Authorization Act passes, Israel won't need American approval. Support for Israel will be mandated and embedded in the Pentagon, no future Congressional votes for aid required.

Bibi's people wrote and lobbied for Section 219, and expect it to pass. This way, Israel can claim "Oh, we're not taking U.S. aid" (a propaganda win), when in reality the aid will be bigger, and more guaranteed, than ever.

Suuuuuurrrrrre

I will believe this when the AIPAC money runs out and Republicans stop passing anti-First Amendment Anti-BDS laws.

By the law of entropy it is unlikely delays in the renewed bombing of Iran for a long period will not result in the falling to pieces of alignments and loyalties.

We (most of us here) were right that the ceasefire was a problem because it delayed the rest of the heavy bombardment.

They quote about 3 words and just made up the rest of the story. They aren’t even very crafty

F him. Maybe it’s time to leave them to the wolves if that’s how he’s going to behave.

I think this takes the pressure off of President Trump in a way

Trump is lost in this war. He doesn't know what to do. He's just flubbing around.
He doesn't control anything. The Iranians are playing him but good.

You’re right that Israel will make it only until a socialist or Dem takeover. The Jewish voters who as Dennis Prager said “think they are still voting for FDR each time they vote now” are voting for suicide, as is the anti-Netanyahu faction within Israel. I guess you can cure ignorance but stupid is forever as they say.

Their alliances with India are not military, but they are counter-China. This makes sense as India cannot stand China, or Chi-Coms.

Prime Minister Bibi isn’t abandoning USA, that’s as stupid a claim as they come. The USA-Israel alliance is one of the strongest in the world, based on shared values as well as many important strategic interests. Bibi IS reaching out (and India has reached out to Jerusalem quite clearly and strongly) to increase his nation’s overseas ties. Latin America, Asia, Africa.

We trust and respect Netanyahu - knowing he’s doing his best to protect Israel. We trust and respect President Trump doing his best to protect the United States.

Netanyahu and Trump are what’s known as ‘the good guys’. Their goal is a peaceful Middle East and a safe Israel. They’ll get over the fact they see different paths to that goal.

Trump knows Bibi played him, and he is not happy.

Yes. They deserve a Pulitzer Prize for actually using 3 words they might of heard in the hall, like, a, and, and the. NEVER trust a damn thing you read in the media, especially any British source. They are paid liars.
