Trump is said to receive Katari 747 for Air Force One and Nach Presidential trips: Live updates: Live updates

Two months later, on another visit to the White House, Mr. Netanyahu was silent for more than half an hour next to the president when Mr. Trump explained on topics that had nothing to do with Israel.

This meeting in April underlined a growing gap between the two men, which are increasingly not agreed on some of the most critical security problems in Israel.

When Mr. Trump leads this week for his first great foreign journey to the Middle East, the president rejected Mr. Netanyahu's wish for joint military measures to get Tehran's nuclear skills out. Instead, Mr. Trump started talks with Iran and Mr. Netanyahu warn that “a bad business is worse than not a business”.

Last week, Mr. Trump announced an agreement with the Iranian-supported Houthi militias in Yemen to stop the US air strikes against the militants, which agreed to hire attacks against American ships in the Red Sea. Mr. Trump's news, of whom Israeli official said, was a surprise for Mr. Netanyahu, only days after a Houthi rocket of Israel's main airport in Tel Aviv had triggered a reaction of Israel.

In a video published on X, Netanyahu responded to Mr. Trump's announcement by saying: “Israel will defend itself. If others would join us, our American friends are very good. If this is not the case, we will defend ourselves.”

Mike Huckabee, the American ambassador to Israel, said on Friday in an Israeli television interview: “The United States is not obliged to receive permission from Israel.”

And there is even some references to a gap about Gaza. Mr. Trump's emissions are still trying to maintain a deal to stop the war, although he largely supports the behavior of the Prime Minister about the conflict and almost no public criticism of Israel increased bombing and blockade of food, fuel and medicine since broke up two months ago.

On Monday, the Prime Minister announced plans to intensify the war, even when the Messenger of the President continued to sought a new diplomatic path to end the conflict. But Mr. Trump did not win his finger with his finger in the first year of the war in Gaza, as President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who started after the attack on Israel led by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Now this moment is testing the relationship between the two men, both of them are politically split, are violent and have ego above average. The short and long-term security is at stake in a region that has long since come from the war. Analysts in the Middle East and in the United States say that the change in the arch of the story partly depends on how Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu bridge their differences in a time of great geopolitical changes.

“Trump is” what you see is what you get “and rarely hides things. His delay is to say what he thinks,” said Eli Groner, who worked as general director in the office of the Prime Minister for more than three years. “Netanyahus delay is to keep things closer to his chest.”

For years, Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu have publicly cited a warm and close relationship as proof of their own political skills and repeatedly flattered each other. People near the two leaders say that they are in a way related ghosts who respect each other for the political and personal attacks that they endured during their career.

Mr. Trump has accused Liberals in his government, judges and secret service officials to conspire against him. Mr. Netanyahu has accused the courts in his country to block the necessary guidelines, and he says that his political rivals had founded his exams due to fraud, violation and acceptance of bribes.

“The DNA of both is very similar,” said Mike Evans, an Evangelical Christian who founded the Museum of Friends of Zion in Israel and is a long -time supporter of the President and the Prime Minister. “Both have had similar experiences – Bibi with the deep state in Israel and Donald Trump with the deep state in America.”

John Bolton, who worked as a national security advisor in the White House from 2018 to 2019, said that Mr. Trump had always regarded the relationship with Mr. Netanyahu as critical of his own political support in the United States, especially among Protestant voters.

“Both saw it to be friendly to be friendly,” he said of the two leaders. “That was certainly Trump's calculation.”

But behind closed doors there were disagreements and some clashes that affect the situation.

Mr. Trump has long been anger about the decision of Mr. Netanyahu to congratulate Mr. Biden on his election victory of 2020. The president claimed – incorrectly – the prime minister was the first world leader to do this. At the end of 2021, Mr. Trump used an expantive, while in an interview with a book author remembered the Snub.

For his part, Mr. Netanyahu has privately frustration about some of Mr. Trump's politics, in particular about the president's request to achieve a deal with Iran. A right -wing newspaper, which was usually organized with the Prime Minister, wrote this month that Mr. Netanyahu thought, Mr. Trump says “the right things”, but does not deliver.

When it comes to Iran, Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Trump can operate on various schedules. The president seems to be ready to let diplomats work on a deal that restrict the ability to enrich Tehrans to enrich uranium and to slow down his progress in the direction of a bomb. Mr. Netanyahu endeavors to act militarily against Iran before it is too late to stop his progress.

“Netanyahu believes that the timeline is quite short to make a decision,” said Bolton, who is a supporter of military measures. In an interview with Time Magazine in April, Mr. Trump said that he had made a joint attack against Mr. Netanyahu's proposal to make the Iranian nuclear's nuclear program.

“I didn't stop her. But I didn't make it comfortable for you because I think we can do a deal without attack,” said Mr. Trump in an interview.

The White House said that Mr. Trump is not planning to visit Israel on his trip to the region this week, although Mr. Huckabee said that the president would visit the country until the end of the year. This is a change compared to the first term of office of the President when his first foreign journey of Israel and stops in Saudi Arabia and parts of Europe included.

It remains unclear how Mr. Trump will face the war in Gaza extensively while he is in the Middle East.

Mr. Trump came into office to end the war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian suffering and to end the hostages that the militant group confiscated in the attack on October 7, 2023. (Always in his thoughts, in his opinion, who are close to him: the prospect of preserving a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. A spokesman for Mr. Trump said in March that the price was honored for his achievement.)

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 50,000 Palestinians have died, which do not distinguish between civil and combative deaths. About 130 hostages were published and the Israeli military has achieved the corpses of at least 40 others. According to the Israeli government, up to 24 hostages are still alive.

Some families of the Israeli and American hostages, which are still held in Gaza, are working quietly to demand Mr. Trump to use his journey to the Middle East as an opportunity to put Mr. Netanyahu under pressure, according to the people familiar with diplomatic lobbying.

In the past few weeks, Mr. Trump has been less busy to solve the conflict after he had to be released into other countries after the relocation of the Palestinians through his great vision of creating a “Gaza -Riviera”.

When Mr. Netanyahu visited the White House in April, some in Israel saw the scene as embarrassing for the Prime Minister.

Mr. Evans, who knew Mr. Netanyahu since his young man, said the prime minister would not give in, even if Mr. Trump had prompted him to end the war before the Israeli military destroyed Hamas and returned all hostages.

“Does Netanyahu believe that Hamas will give him all hostages if they pull themselves out of the Gaza Strip?” Said Mr. Evans. “I don't think he believes it for a moment.”
