Relations between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump have reached a critical point.
Modern.az reports that this was stated in a detailed analysis published in the “Yedioth Ahronoth” newspaper.
It was noted that Netanyahu did not receive the desired support from the White House during the pre-election period. Netanyahu's attempts to get rid of the image of an isolated leader on a global scale and appear as a strong political figure remained fruitless due to the White House's failure to provide the necessary support. It is noteworthy that Trump refrained from even making a small gesture to Netanyahu.
Why did Trump turn his back on Netanyahu?
The analysis states that Donald Trump turned his back on Netanyahu quite quickly. It is emphasized that this is not only related to Trump's attitude towards the defeated, but also to his belief that the Israeli prime minister deceived him.
It is noted that Netanyahu made impossible promises to Trump, such as defeating Iran, overthrowing the Tehran leadership, and turning Gaza into a luxurious resort. Netanyahu's inability to complete the attacks in Gaza on time, which hindered Trump's plans to “go down in history as a leader who brought peace,” seriously angered the US President.
Break in the Washington-Tel Aviv line
The analysis emphasizes that Netanyahu lost Trump, and Israel lost the US, and notes that the ties between Washington and Tel Aviv have long been broken.
It is claimed that the attacks in Gaza were based on neither logic nor strategy, and that this almost destroyed US-Israel relations. It is predicted that even harder days await Israel, especially after the midterm elections where Democrats are expected to win a big victory in the US.
American public's attitude towards Israel is changing
It is emphasized that sympathy for Palestinians is increasing in the US public. It is reported that protesters have turned Leila Khaled's ideas into a slogan: “Power will be in our hands, we will take back Palestine and turn it into a paradise for Arabs, Jews, and freedom lovers.”
Arms companies and regional interests
The article, which claims that Trump abandoned Israel twice, emphasizes that he is not actually a true friend of Israel. It is recalled that the US leader did not take steps towards peace due to the profit interests of arms companies, and could not implement any of the projects he promised, such as the “deal of the century.”
At the end of the analysis, it is stated that Trump's turning his back on Netanyahu is a positive step for Israel.
