Tensions Rise Between Trump and Netanyahu Over Middle East Policy
As US President Donald Trump embarks on a Middle East trip, significant divisions are surfacing between him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump has reportedly bypassed Netanyahu on key issues, particularly regarding Iran and the Gaza conflict, leading to concerns in Israel about the future of US-Israel relations. While the Trump administration downplays the disagreements, reports indicate that Netanyahu is frustrated with Trump’s approach, especially as the US President plans to skip Israel during his visit. With Israel feeling sidelined, questions arise about the strength of the long-standing alliance and whether Trump is shifting his focus away from traditional allies in the region.
