Trump says relationship with Netanyahu remains good despite Gaza plan rejection

Former President Donald Trump asserted that his personal rapport with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains strong, reiterating the close ties that characterized their collaboration during Trump’s 2017‑2021 administration. In a recent interview, Trump emphasized that the two leaders “still get along very well,” despite the former president’s departure from office and the shift in U.S. diplomatic leadership.

Trump’s statement references a period marked by significant policy alignment, including the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the relocation of the American embassy, and the endorsement of the Abraham Accords. While the current administration has pursued its own approach to Middle‑East diplomacy, Trump’s remarks suggest that his personal relationship with Netanyahu endures independently of official U.S. policy.
