Anonymous sources in the White
House have told an Israeli news website that US President Donald Trump has
become “frustrated” and “disappointed” with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and Israel in general.
“Americans are discouraged
and frustrated by Israeli politics and the current political crisis, which has
prevented the White House from unveiling the political part of the deal of the
century,” they were cited as saying by Ynet News, referring to the Trump
administration’s so-called peace plan for the Middle East.
They added that the president,
who has claimed of having a dream to end conflict between Israelis and
Palestinians, has openly talked about feeling “very disappointed” with the
Israeli premier.
Trump told his close assistants
that Netanyahu should pay millions of dollars in annual aid to the Palestinian
Authority if he thinks Washington’s decision to cut it altogether was wrong.
“The president doesn’t like
losers,” said a White House source, referencing his failure to secure a clear
victory in the April 9 elections.
Former Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson, who was fired by Trump, said at an event at Harvard University two
months ago that the prime minister “played” Trump by providing him with
incorrect information.
“In dealing with Bibi, it’s
always useful to carry a healthy amount of skepticism in your discussions with
him,” Tillerson said. “It bothers me that an ally that’s that close and
important to us would do that to us.”
Since he took office, Trump has
illegally recognized Jerusalem al-Quds as the Israeli capital and acknowledged
Israel’s sovereignty over Syria’s Golan Heights.
