Trump and Netanyahu Diverge on Iran War’s Future in Tense Phone Call
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump joked about running for Israeli Prime Minister, claiming he holds 99% approval in Israel and suggesting he might pursue the role after his White House term concludes.
- Trump praised Netanyahu as a 'very good man' who follows his direction while responding to questions about Iran ceasefire negotiations. He added that the Israeli leader 'is not treated right in Israel, in my opinion.'
- While Trump cited 99% approval, a February poll by the Jewish People Policy Institute found 73% of Israelis view him favorably. Israeli law requires citizenship and parliamentary membership for the prime minister position, making Trump ineligible.
- Trump recycled a previous joke about running for president in Venezuela, where he earlier this year claimed he was 'polling higher than anybody has ever polled' there. The pattern mirrors his Israel comments.
- These remarks occurred amid criticism from Rep. Thomas Massie , who lost his primary on Tuesday to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein. Massie blamed his defeat on spending by Trump-aligned and pro-Israel groups opposing his Iran war stance.
