‘All the Jews are sick of you,’ Trump said to have told Netanyahu in 2025 phone call

Former U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "all the Jews are sick" of him during a contentious phone call in September 2025. The reported exchange, detailed in the book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, took place while Trump was advocating for his 20-point plan to end the Gaza war.

According to the book, Trump's frustration boiled over during the call, which also included Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two Jewish top aides. Trump reportedly exclaimed, "Everybody's sick of you, Bibi. All the Jews are sick of you. Even the two Jews on this call are sick of you." The context of the call was the ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, a process that had been complicated by an earlier Israeli airstrike in Qatar.

Everybody's sick of you, Bibi. All the Jews are sick of you. Even the two Jews on this call are sick of you.

Despite the heated exchange, Trump also emphasized his unwavering support for Israel, stating, "I'm the best friend Israel ever had. Everybody hates you, and I've stood by you." This assertion comes amid reports of increasing strain in the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, marked by disagreements over U.S.-Iran policy and Israel's actions in Lebanon. Trump has recently been quoted calling Netanyahu "fucking crazy" and questioning his judgment.

I'm the best friend Israel ever had. Everybody hates you, and I've stood by you.
