A commentary by Aviv Bushinsky argues that the Trump administration's latest policy shift is a direct result of Prime Minister Netanyahu's excessive reliance on the former president, and that Israel is now paying the price for that dependency. The piece does not cite a specific new decision or event.
Aviv Bushinsky, a veteran Israeli political commentator, published an opinion piece arguing that the current tension between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former U.S. President Donald Trump stems from Netanyahu's long-standing 'addiction' to Trump, for which Israel is now paying a price. The column does not reference a specific new policy change or incident, but follows a broader discourse about fraying ties between the two leaders. As The Zioneer noted earlier Tuesday (BACKGROUND context), a single source claimed Trump was 'turning on' Netanyahu, though no evidence of a concrete reversal was provided. Bushinsky's piece adds an interpretive layer from a right-of-center commentator, framing the dynamic as one of strategic dependency rather than a sudden rift.
