Former President Trump is not happy that former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu abandoned his loyalty to congratulate Joe Biden on his election victory last year.
Fox News reports:
“I haven’t spoken to him since,” Trump said, according to comments released from an interview taken by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid. “F–k him,” he added.
“Nobody did more for Bibi. And I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi,” he said, referring to the former prime minister by his nickname. “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.”
Hours after reports broke that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the 2020 election Netanyahu wasted no time in congratulating the Democrats on Twitter.
Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.

“They didn’t have a friendship, because if they did, they wouldn’t have done the Iran deal,” Trump said. “And guess what, now they’re going to do it again. And if they do it again, Israel is in very grave danger.
“I’ll tell you what – had I not come along, I think Israel was going to be destroyed. OK, you want to know the truth? I think Israel would have been destroyed maybe by now,” Trump added.
