Conservative commentator and Trump confidant Mark Levin, writing in Hebrew, accused President Trump of shifting Israel's status from a key partner to a dependent nation that must seek permission to defend itself. Levin cited Israel's killing of a senior Hezbollah commander (Ali Moussa Dakdouk) as avenging five murdered US Marines, arguing a word of thanks is warranted.
Mark Levin, a prominent conservative commentator with 5 million X followers and a close confidant of President Donald Trump, published a sharp critique of Trump in Hebrew on Monday afternoon. Levin accused the president of erasing Israel's status as a key ally fighting a common enemy — Hezbollah, which he noted has killed thousands of Americans — and recasting Prime Minister Netanyahu as a "problematic person" who should thank the U.S. for saving his country.
Levin pointed specifically to Israel's elimination of senior Hezbollah commander Ali Moussa Dakdouk, calling it an act of vengeance for five U.S. Marines executed by Hezbollah. "Israel is the only one acting to eliminate Hezbollah leaders who murdered Marines, soldiers, embassy personnel, and other American civilians," Levin wrote, adding that "at least one good word is called for."
As The Zioneer reported on Monday at 11:44 Jerusalem, Levin had already criticized Trump over the same shift in U.S.-Israel dynamics. The earlier post, also in Hebrew, described Trump calling Netanyahu a 'problematic person' within two months of calling him an 'ally.' This latest post adds a new argument — that Israel's targeted killing of a Hezbollah commander who killed Americans should entitle it to American gratitude, not rebuke.
