The relationship between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “diverging,” a former top Israeli diplomat told CNN.
When asked if Trump and Netanyahu were on the same page, Alon Pinkas responded: “They’re not even on the same book at this point.”
The former Israeli Consul General in New York City said this was “evident in how Trump is talking about Netanyahu in the last two weeks.”
Pinkas also raised concerns over the lack of exit strategy for Israel’s offensive against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon — and pointed out that conflict has become part of Netanyahu’s political campaign.
