  • Trump on Netanyahu: "He would have lost the election if it wasn't for me."

When a right-wing zealot leading the US and the Prime Minister of the occupation shake hands, what could go wrong?

Well a lot, it seems.

In an interview for Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, former US President Donald Trump waged a full-on verbal attack on former ally and friend Israeli ex-PM Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him as disloyal for congratulating Biden immediately despite the Republican candidate still contesting results at the time.

“Nobody did more for Bibi. And I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi," Trump said, referring to Netanyahu. "But I also like loyalty. The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape. And it was on tape."

The media mogul noted that his “Bibi” congratulated his Democratic rival way too early, even ahead of other world leaders despite Trump’s previous efforts to consolidate their alliance by making a series of ill-conceived and widely contested decisions - chiefly among them his push for Arab-Israeli ties normalization.

“Early, okay? Let's use this. He was very early [in congratulating Biden]. Like earlier than most. I haven’t spoken to him since. F*** him.”

" 'Israel' was going to be destroyed "

Trump’s attempts at a closer personal alliance with the former occupation PM saw him take decisions such as alleging that “Israel” has full sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights right ahead of the Israeli elections in April 2019, not to mention his decision to claim that occupied al-Quds is “Israel’s” capital.

"He would have lost the election if it wasn't for me,” referring to the electoral boost he supplied the former Likud party leader and Israeli criminal with the string of illegal decisions he made. In fact, a poll conducted ahead of the occupation’s elections found that 66% of voters believed Trump’s decision strengthened Netanyahu’s reelection chances.

Even worse, the normalization wave across the Arab World was chiefly led by Trump’s administration and his son-in-law Jared Kushner in an attempt to secure “Israel’s” place in the region.

Boasting about his role in securing Israeli interests in the region, in spite of its countless crimes against humanity, Trump said: “I'll tell you what - had I not come along I think 'Israel' was going to be destroyed. Okay. You want to know the truth? I think 'Israel' would have been destroyed maybe by now."

Moreover, Trump’s brutal exit from the Iran nuclear deal, or JCPOA, has been mainly motivated and pushed for by Netanyahu.

Two peas in a pod

This interview comes at a time where both Trump and Netanyahu are in hot waters, the former trying to evade all accusations of inciting an insurrection at the capitol on January 6, and the latter embroiled in a corruption trial as he tries repeatedly to regain access to the PM’s office he lost to Naftali Bennett.

As US President Joe Biden tries to get his country back into the nuclear deal in the hopes of relieving tensions in Western Asia, allowing him to refocus his efforts on China, “Israel” seemingly has other plans as it is on course of repeatedly threatening to conduct military operations against Iran even if the deal were to succeed.

Such dangerous threats were not fully supported by the US which is not faring so well on the world stage, a rare occurrence in an alliance that created a vacuum of chaos and violence across the region and suffocated Palestinians in every conceivable measure.
