Former US President Donald Trump said Friday evening that Prime Minister Netanyahu is a "warrior" prime minister who should be recognized as such and given the appreciation he deserves, according to reports from Israeli sources.
Former US President Donald Trump offered a notably warm appraisal of Prime Minister Netanyahu on Friday evening, calling him a 'warrior' prime minister who deserves recognition and appreciation. The comment, reported by Israeli sources, comes amid a series of occasionally mixed public remarks by Trump about Netanyahu in recent days — this week alone Trump said Netanyahu is a 'very tough man' and that their relationship is 'excellent,' while also telling the New York Times Netanyahu is a 'very difficult guy' who should thank the US for the Iran deal. Friday's statement leans decisively toward the supportive side, with no hedging or criticism attached.
