JerusalemFormer US President Donald Trump has called on Israel to congratulate the current President Joe Biden on his victory in the elections held last year. Has expressed strong displeasure towards former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This news has been reported in the Israeli newspaper on Friday.
Trump described Netanyahu as an insincere person and said that he had helped Netanyahu in his election, overturning decades of American policy. At the same time, he also supported Israel’s claims on the territory occupied in the war. Trump is still falsely claiming that the US election was stolen from him. Trump expressed anger over a video circulated online by Netanyahu, in which Netanyahu congratulated Biden on his victory.
Trump made these remarks in an interview with Israeli journalist Barack Navid earlier this year, which was published in the newspaper Yediot Aharonot on Friday. Trump, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname, said, “No one else has done so much for Bibi. I used to like Bibi. I still like Bibi. But I also like loyalty. Bibi could have kept quiet. He made a terrible mistake.”

Netanyahu had congratulated Biden 12 hours after his election victory. Before that, most of the world leaders had congratulated Biden. However, in the congratulatory tweet, Netanyahu did not call Biden the elected president. After this he did a post, in which Trump was praised. Trump also appeared particularly angry about a video released by Netanyahu on January 20.
In the video released on the day Biden took office, Netanyahu said that he and Biden had a very close friendship for decades. “I haven’t spoken to him since then,” Trump was quoted as saying in the news. Netanyahu had to step down as prime minister last summer after he failed to form a government in Israel after four elections in less than two years. (agency)
