US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's Relationship Strained, Claims Former Diplomat

Tel abhi. A claim has been made that the mutual relationship between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has started to crack and they are moving away from each other.

A former high-ranking Israeli diplomat has claimed that the relationship between the two leaders is no longer as cordial as before.

Former Israeli Consul General Alon Pinkas commented on the thinking and relationship of both leaders in a special conversation with American media CNN. Describing the current situation, he said, 'Trump and Netanyahu are not just on the same page anymore, they are not even in the same book.'

According to Pinkas, the distance between the two leaders has clearly come to the surface, pointing to various public comments made by President Trump about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in the last two weeks.

Similarly, former Consul General Pinkas expressed serious concern and suspicion about Israel's ongoing military campaign against the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah in Lebanon. He pointed out that even though Israel has intensified its attacks in Lebanon, there is no clear outline or strategy on how to bring this conflict to a logical conclusion and how to get out of the war.

Analyzing Israel's internal politics, Pinkas said, 'There is no final plan strategically, but political games are being played here. Netanyahu is moving towards elections and he needs to maintain a state of continuous war for his own interests.'

According to him, the creation of a continuous atmosphere of tension and war in the country has become the main and infallible means for Prime Minister Netanyahu to maintain his personal political existence. For this reason, he wants to prolong the war.
