"Bibi is his own worst enemy": Trump refuses to support Netanyahu 75 days before Israeli elections

Politics 08/15/2026, 13:12
🇺🇸🇮🇱 **Trump refuses to support Netanyahu 75 days before Israeli elections** US President Donald Trump is withholding approval of Benjamin Netanyahu's candidacy.

Washington responded: "Gaza is our show, not his." #Israel #Trump #Elections2026 #Netanyahu
