"Israel's" Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reportedly spoke “with his usual arrogance” to senior Republican officials, detailing what US President Donald Trump “must do", according to Yanir Cozin, a diplomatic correspondent for Israeli Army Radio, who cited a senior Israeli official.

However, Dermer’s approach appears to have backfired. Trump’s inner circle reportedly told him that “Netanyahu is manipulating the American president,” a characterization that did not sit well with Trump.

The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”

The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”

This perception, according to the correspondent's post on X, prompted Trump to cut off contact with Netanyahu, a situation that could potentially shift in the future but remains in effect for now.

It'll be hilarious if Trump actually forces the ceasefire that Biden wouldn't. Leave it to a little man with a narcissistic personality to notice that Netanyahu's been taking advantage of us. Fuck zionists.
