Netanyahu Openly Interfering in U.S. Election to Get Trump Elected: Israeli Paper
Israel will benefit from near-unlimited support from Trump or Harris.
Despite near-unlimited support from the Biden administration as Israel carries out its genocidal campaign in Gaza and provokes its neighbors into a full-scale war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is openly interfering in the U.S. election to get Donald Trump back in office because the former president is seen as even more pro-Israel than the current occupant in the White House.

Amir Tibon, an Israeli journalist and writer, wrote in Haaretz about how U.S. President Joe Biden has bent over backward to provide Israel with billions in weapons, military protection, and diplomatic cover, only to be abandoned by the Israeli extremists in favor of Trump.
“Netanyahu has gone back to his usual habit of interfering in American elections, and is openly trying to help Donald Trump return to the White House, while briefing the media in Israel and the U.S. against Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris,” he wrote.
Haaretz previously reported that Biden finally came to the realization that Netanyahu has been lying to him and is doing his best to prolong the war in Gaza instead of securing a hostage deal after nearly 10 months of war.
“Biden realized that Netanyahu was lying to him about the hostages. He's not saying publicly yet he's not saying publicly yet, but in the meeting between them but in the meeting between them, he specifically told him, ‘Stop bullshitting me,’” a senior administration official told Haartez.
The official said Netanyahu is “trying to prolong the war instead of focusing on how to get a hostage deal. It's making it harder for us to continue supporting Israel over time.”
Netanyahu reportedly told Biden last week that there was progress made in the ceasefire negotiations and that the U.S. should “send a delegation” to Cairo.
Biden responded, “Stop bullshitting me.”
Sources familiar with the ceasefire negotiations told Channel 12: “This is a protocol trip, a waste of time. Netanyahu's current positions will not lead to real progress.”
(Axios reported Saturday that Netanyahu added even more requirements to the deal and the talks ended up going nowhere.)
Western news reports describe a fraying relationship between Biden and Netanyahu, but the U.S. has provided Israel with billions in military aid since the start of the war. The official told Haaretz that there is a feeling in the White House that Netanyahu has been ungrateful for the support.
The paper noted that Netanyahu issued a curt response after reports emerged that Biden had a tense phone call with him after Israel assassinated a top Hamas official in Tehran. Netanyahu’s office said, “The prime minister does not interfere in American politics and will work with whoever is elected president, just as he also expects the Americans not to interfere in Israeli politics.”
TRENDPOST: It is worth noting that Harris, even at her most courageous, is a coward when it comes to standing up to Israel. The vice president, desperate to hold on to the minority vote, called for a “ceasefire” but left out the keyword “permanent.” Hamas said it wants the war to end in exchange for hostages; Israel wants to be able to jumpstart the war whenever it wants.
