Netanyahu a ‘burden to Trump,' dismantled US-Israel ties, Liberman tells ‘Post’ - interview
“Trump wants to distance himself from him [Netanyahu]. The relationship has become a burden, and it is already hurting him in the upcoming US midterm elections," Liberman said
Assessment
Avigdor Liberman, speaking to the Jerusalem Post, levels a sharp critique at Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming the Israeli prime minister has become a political liability for Donald Trump ahead of US midterm elections. The assessment frames the bilateral relationship as damaged and personally costly for Trump. Observers should watch whether this public break reflects a wider coalition strain or a shift in how Israeli officials discuss their US alliance publicly.
