Netanyahu also goes to Washington, Trump is already a close ally

Before President Barack Obama held his position in 2009, Benjamin Netanyahu described the Israeli diplomat Alon Benkas in blue and asked for a lesson in what was mainly a foreign tongue: the language of Democrats.

“I am talking to the Republican while you are talking to democracy, and I need the mediator,” said Mr. Netanyahu, who was about to become the Prime Minister of Israel. He added: “Netanyahu has always thought about himself as some of the new proportions that belong to the right wing of the Republican Party.”

Mr. Netanyahu, who will meet With President Trump In the White House on Monday, he talks again with his favorite party, and the difference was blatant.

Where former President Joseph R sided. Biden Junior to put some restrictions on Mr. Netanyahu’s military campaign in Gaza, the Trump administration has not made such a request. Mr. Biden criticized the attempt to reform the courts of Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Trump has attacked on his own against American judges.

“They are not sized,” said Natan Sachs, director of the Middle East Policy Center and its first colleague in the Brookings Foreign Policy Program. “Many fears that the former White House has continued to provide humanitarian aid, about reducing civil losses, these concerns have no longer expressed anymore.”

On the horizon at the meeting this week is the point of tension: Mr. Trump’s sweeping tariff, which spared Israel. Mr. Netanyahu’s office said that the two men are planning to discuss the tariff issue, which is the war in Gaza, the relations of Israel Torky, Iran and the International Criminal Court.

“I can tell you that I am the first international leader, the first foreign leader, to meet President Trump on this issue, which is very important for the Israeli economy,” said Mr. Netanyahu. “There is a long group of leaders who want this regarding their economies. I think it reflects the private personal link, as well as the special relations between the United States and Israel.”

All modern American administrations have allied in varying degrees with Israel, although Mr. Biden and Mr. Netanyahu had a long and complex history. Mr. Biden referred to the Israeli leader Bassem A relative personal friend of more than 33 yearsAnd Mr. Netanyahu referred to Mr. Biden as a “American -Irish Zionist.”

Mr. Biden also became frustrated by Mr. Netanyahu’s behavior in his position, and criticized his judicial reform of Israel. And the American president used Apostolic words About how Israel carried out the war in Gaza in response to terrorist attacks on October 7.

“You know that Israel is increasingly visualizing Israel around the world is that you are a rogue state, the actor of the rogue,” Mr. Biden told Mr. Netanyahu, After an air strike in Iran.

There was a different reaction when Israel recently consulted the White House about air attacks across the Gaza Strip. The response from the Trump administration? Give hell.

“Everyone who seeks terrorism, not only Israel, said that the Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis in their attacks in Gaza.

Israeli air strikes ended the temporary ceasefire with Hamas, which began in January and raised the possibility of returning to the comprehensive war. The Ministry of Health in Gaza said more than 400 people, including children, were killed in the early hours of strikes.

Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Trump also found a common reason for their criticism of their countries’ judges. Mr. Trump has been inhabited against the judges who prevented some of his administration’s actions, including calling the War time authorities to accelerate deportations. He called for one judge in particular To be isolatedAnd Mr. Netanyahu chanted with it.

“In America and Israel, when a leader in the strong right wing wins in the elections, The Lasefist Deep State wins the judicial system to thwart the will of people.” “They will not win anywhere! We are standing together.”

Elliot Abrams, an older colleague of Middle Eastern Studies in the Council of Foreign Relations, said that there is simply “greater confidence on the Israelis in the Trump administration,” said Elliot Abrams, an older colleague of Middle East Studies in the Council of Foreign Relations.

“Vice President, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Defense, and National Security Adviser, are all seen as very supporters in Israel,” “and this was not true for the Biden administration, which was seen as sympathetic, but it tends towards restricting Israel.”

Certainly, Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu have achieved up and down.

In the first period of Mr. Trump, Mr. Netanyahu angered Mr. Trump with a somewhat harmless currency to congratulate him behind him, Mr. Biden, after the presidential elections in 2020.

But from the point of view of Mr. Netanyahu, Trump’s first presidency was a blessing for Israel. The US President moved the US embassy to Jerusalem and a little attention to the Palestinians while standing to Israel on its demands on the Palestinian territories in the West Bank.

Then, shortly after restoring the position, Mr. Trump It suggested that the United States take control of Gaza The entire Palestinian population of the destructive coastal pocket is one of the most rude ideas presented by any American leader around the region. Since then, he made some distance from this proposal.

But his reflection on the mass removal of the Palestinians came during a meeting with Mr. Netanyahu, who smiled throughout the statements of Mr. Trump and later headed.

“I was cut off to the chase,” Mr. Netanyahu told Mr. Trump. “You see things that others refuse to see.

Many condemned the suggestion of Mr. Trump as immoral and illegal. But opinion polls showed the right -wing Israelis who constitute the base of Mr. Netanyahu on a large scale, and the US President was common in Israel.

Mr. Sachs said that the fact that the base of Mr. Netanyahu supports Mr. Trump is a unique force in the country, as Israel and Hamas are negotiating the release of the hostages and the ceasefire.

Mr. Sachs said: “They fear Trump more, and they believe that it cannot be predicted.” “Direct conversations with Hamas, this was done without Israeli knowledge. It is more than an icon like Trump ready to do it, and Israel hates crossing him. He has a better opportunity to get any direction he wants.”

Stephen Whitchov, the envoy of Mr. Trump in the Middle East, was in negotiations on requesting a new ceasefire agreement. Mr. Netanyahu Ron Dimer, a former Republican activist who has close ties with Mr. Trump to participate in the ceasefire talks.

Mr. Witkoff sent a clear message to Hamas before the start of the air strikes: “President Trump has made clear that Hamas will immediately make hostages, or pay a very price.”

Ned Lazaros, associate professor of international affairs at the Elliot School at George Washington University, said the war explodes again with the blessing of Mr. Trump, the Trump administration will start taking over the ownership of the war.

He said: “Netanyahu has opposed to every multi -American president, but he is clearly on more friendly terms with Trump. He listens to what Trump says.” “This is a renewal of war. This is Trump’s war.”
