Netanyahu: No disagreement with Trump, share 99% of the same views

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has moved to quell speculation of a rift with former U.S. President Donald Trump, asserting that they are in agreement on nearly all issues. The remarks follow past public spats where Trump criticized Netanyahu's judgment concerning negotiations with Iran.

“

I don't think there is any disagreement.

In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu addressed the perceived conflict arising from the U.S. pursuing a comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran. "I don't think there is any disagreement," Netanyahu stated, emphasizing his role as leader of Israel, a key U.S. ally. "President Trump is doing what is good for the United States as the leader of the United States, and I am doing what is good for Israel as the leader of the only Jewish state," he added, noting their alignment on "99%" of issues.

President Trump is doing what is good for the United States as the leader of the United States, and I am doing what is good for Israel as the leader of the only Jewish state.

Netanyahu went further, praising Trump as "the greatest friend that the White House has produced, and the best friend we have ever had." This strong endorsement comes despite Trump's previous public remarks, including a statement calling Netanyahu "a fucking idiot" for his approach to negotiations. The Israeli prime minister's comments aim to project a united front and reaffirm the strong relationship between Israel and the United States under Trump's potential future leadership.
