Israel is “worried about any deal” Trump might strike with Iran, one source told NBC News.

When Donald Trump took office in January, he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were closely aligned on how to approach the most pressing issues in their relationship: the war in Gaza and aggression from Iran.

Trump lifted a hold the Biden administration had put on sending large bombs to Israel. He encouraged Israeli military operations “to finish the job” against Hamas in Gaza. He agreed with Netanyahu on confronting Iran and its proxy groups in the region.

But in recent weeks, the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu has become strained as the two leaders are increasingly at odds over a strategy for tackling these challenges now that Hamas has been significantly degraded and Iran weakened, according to two U.S. officials, two Middle Eastern diplomats and two other people with knowledge of the tensions.

    What, does Trump want a bigger piece of the action? Maybe a discount on concrete made from the ground-up bones of Gazan children?

    Strain it until it breaks. The only good thing about these fucks is they can’t stand each other either and occasionally it fucks up their ability to fuck anyone and everyone.

    They’re not “at odds over strategy”. Trump just doesn’t think Netanyahu’s people are treating him with enough respect, so he’s throwing a tantrum about it.
