The publication continues a series of public signals from Trump regarding the Israeli leader.
President Donald Trump shared on his social media platform an article that sharply criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the phrase 'needs to be more rational' attributed to the piece in the post's description. The sharing follows a trend of increasingly public friction between the two leaders, as The Zioneer has previously reported multiple instances of Trump questioning Netanyahu's conduct and re-election prospects. A column in Maariv earlier this week criticized Trump's approach to Netanyahu, and the U.S. president has previously called Netanyahu a 'very difficult guy' and urged him to be 'gentler' in military operations in Lebanon. No additional context or commentary was provided by Trump in the post itself. The article's full content has not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
