Donald Trump's relation with Benjamin Netanyahu
by Thierry Meyssan voltairenet-org/article
During the falsified 2020 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump saw the actual face of Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite appearances, since then both gentlemen have remained in a completely different relationship. president Trump dreams of bringing peace wherever the war is going, while Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to carry out his "revisionist, Zionist" task (not having anything to do with "Zionism" by Herzl), whose goal is to conquer the mediate East. Iran's tenacity revealed their intentions and put an end to attempts at compromise.

It is very hard for us to realize the deterioration of the relation between the United States and Israel. In order to interpret them and realize their scale, we must first examine the historical links between the 2 nations and then examine the improvement of president Donald Trump's policy during his 2 term.
United States and Israel
The mythical establishment of the United States by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620 is traditionally portrayed as exodus “puritans”, who were dissidents of the Anglican Church. They reportedly escaped from the “faraon” (king of England James I), concluded a “pact” during the crossing through the “Red Sea” (Atlantic Ocean) and established a colony of Plymouth. That is why Americans, like Jews, are regarded as “a chosen nation”.
This communicative was supported by all Presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Donald Trump [ 1 It is celebrated annually at Thanksgiving (Thursday 4th of November).
The support of the United States for the State of Israel is so apparent and has never been publically questioned.
The actual founder of modern Zionism was not a Jew, but a Christian dispensationist: Pastor William E. Blackstone was an American preacher who believed that actual Christians would not gotta participate in the trials of the final times. He taught that they would be taken to heaven during the final conflict (“the kidnapping of the Church” ) . According to him, the Jews will fight this conflict and come out converted to Christ and the victor. [ 2 ]
William Blackstone succeeded in convincing Theodore Herzl to combine the targets of the dispensaries with the targets of the colonials. Just imagine Israel’s uprising in Palestine and strengthen Bible references. Thanks to this comparatively simple idea, they managed to get most European Jews for their cause. Today, Herzl is buried in Israel (on Mount Herzla), and the state placed in his coffin a Bible with annotations that Blackstone gave him.
William Blackstone and Theodor Herzl artificially created the belief that all Jews in the planet are descendants of ancient Jews from Palestine. Since then, the word “Jew” refers not only to Israeli religion but besides to an cultural group. Based on a literal Bible explanation , They became heirs to God's promise of Palestinian land.
The decision to make a judaic state in Palestine was taken jointly by British and American governments. It was negotiated by the first justice of the United States ultimate Court of judaic origin, Louis Brandeis, under the auspices of Reverend Blackstone, and supported by both president Woodrow Wilson and Prime Minister David Lloyd George as part of the Franco-British Sykes-Picot agreement on the division of the mediate East. Their agreement was gradually made public.
President Woodrow Wilson placed the establishment of the State of Israel among authoritative war targets (point 12 of 14 presented to legislature on 8 January 1918); this decision was made 2 months after the British "Balfour Declaration" [ 3 I'm sorry.
The president of the judaic Agency [for Israel], David Ben Gurion, unilaterally proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, the last day of the British mandate over Palestine. It was recognized the following day, May 15, by the United States (and later by Iran under chess). The United Nations, which drew up a plan for the division of Palestine, was faced with the fact that it had been accomplished. However, the United Kingdom only recognized Israel 8 months later.
In 1951, the American Zionist Committee on Public Affairs was formed, which in 1963 became the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to avoid registration as a abroad influence agency.
On July 22, 2002, Ambassador John Negroponte, the then permanent typical of the United States to the United Nations, stated at a closed session of the safety Council that Washington would systematically veto any resolution condemning Israel without condemning the Palestinians [ 4 This doctrine remains in force: it is not possible to accuse both protagonists of the same things due to the fact that their duties are different due to the fact that Israel is now a state and Palestine remains unrecognized. This maneuver ensures that the United Nations will not impose sanctions on Israel, regardless of its actions.
In 2006, Professors Stephen Walt (Harvard) and John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) published the book “The Israel Lobby and US abroad Policy ” [ 5 They showed in her that by becoming a major donor in the Congressional election, AIPAC became de facto ruler of Congress.
Donald Trump and Israel
When Donald Trump moved into the White home on January 20, 2017, he had virtually no thought about politics. He was a populist businessman who intended to “clean the unchangeable of Augiah” (or everything dirty and corrupt in Washington). He is neither a politician nor a Republican, but a supporter of Andrew Jackson, who managed to take control of the Republican Party.
He looks to the mediate East through his national safety advisor, General Michael Flynn. For Flynn, Israel is not a desired destination, and Iran is not dangerous. However, he faces a “deep state” which forces him to part with Flynn after only 3 weeks. That is erstwhile he meets Benjamin Netanjah, with whom he has something in common: both must face the machinations of the powerful administration in their countries. Both men had met earlier erstwhile the Israeli was ambassador to the UN, but they did not know each other.
In 2017, Donald Trump decided to supply military support to Saudi Arabia and the United arabian Emirates in Yemen; In return, he demanded that all arabian states cease supporting terrorist organisations formed by the CIA and MI6 [ 6 I'm sorry. Upon returning from Riyadh, he stopped in Israel, where he said, “We have just returned from the mediate East” (sic).
In his opinion, peace in the mediate East must be possible until no country dares defend Al-Qaeda and ISIS. As President's successor Andrew Jackson, he believes that it is possible to solve problems by creating a state for Israelis, as his predecessor did for Americans, locking Native Americans in reserves.
It so agrees to respect West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel [ 7 ] – and possibly besides East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian State – and recognise the annexation of the Syrian Golan Hills [ 8 ] and all parts of Palestine occupied by Israeli settlements. In addition, it expels the Embassy of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) from Washington [ 9 I'm sorry.
Sadly, to his large surprise, he discovers that, according to the United Nations, Jerusalem is not part of Israel but of global territory, and that it cannot simply do what it pleases him, without encountering strong resistance. Strangely, the annexation of the Syrian Golan Hills and Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories is met with little criticism.
On 3 January 2020, he ordered the execution of General Kasem Suleymani [ 10 ] – most likely with the approval of Iranian figures that Sulejmani was superior – believing that this would cut off Iranian military support for those who argue Israel's expansion task "from Nile to Euphrates" [ 11 I'm sorry.
Finally, he had to admit that this would not accomplish anything and took a fresh approach: securing funds for Palestinians through Abraham's arrangements. This task was undertaken by his son-in-law, orthodox hebrew Jared Kushner [ 12 He succeeded in convincing the United arabian Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain on September 15, 2020. Sudan, Morocco and Kazakhstan joined them much later.
However good Donald Trump's intentions would be, he is incapable to untangle this knot, whose long communicative becomes apparent to him all day. mediate east nations are not like Americans: they have a long past and cannot be bought. First of all, they anticipate reparations for their harm, even if they do not receive immediate economical benefits.
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanjahu
When he returns to the White home on 20 January 2025, the situation in the mediate East changes completely. Benjamin Netanyahu is no longer a tactical politician he erstwhile knew. Now he leads the coalition of “revisionist Zionists” and “Jewish supremacists” and does not hide his dream of “Jewish empire”, as Vladimir Zeew Żabatoński put it. 13 I'm sorry.
Hamas began Operation “Al-Aksa Storm” on October 7, 2023. Since then, Biden's administration has declared full support for Israel, but Israel's defence Forces (IDF) attacks have made public opinion, even in the West, stand against Israel.
Donald Trump, whose re-election was mostly funded by “revisionist Zionists” close to Netanyahu – specified as the owner of Miriam Adelson Casino [ 14 ] – he inactive smiles at his “friend” Netanjah, but he cannot accept that Netanjah abandoned him in 2021 and granted triumph to Joe Biden. Worse still, Netanjah hesitated to support Kamala Harris. His reluctance resulted from her condemning his criminal actions in the Gaza Strip as he spoke before legislature in July 2025.
President Trump starts by destroying everything Joe Biden did without even considering that he might have been right. It abolishes the ban on Israel being supplied with bombs weighing over a tonne [ 15 It abolishes the sanctions imposed on aggressive settlers in the West Bank, ignoring the fact that Netanyahu threatened the United States to re-establish “Star Gang” terrorism [ 16 Finally, it imposes sanctions on the judges of the global Criminal Court (ICC) [ 17 Those who dared to equalize Israeli criminals — including Netanyahu — with Palestinian criminals. It supports the ‘Estera Project’ aimed at suppressing pro-Palestinian opinions in democratic universities [ 18 Finally, the United States withdraws from UNESCO after accepting the accession of the State of Palestine.
Then he starts thinking.
He makes contact with Hamas without informing his Israeli ally, and leads to the release of American hostage Edan Alexander. The operation is conducted by Adam Boehler, a friend of Jared Kushner.
When 4 February 2025. Netanjahu announces that he will annex the Gaza Strip, says that it is not him, but the United States that will turn the Palestinian region into Riviera [ 19 I'm sorry.
On 6 May 2025, Washington signed a separate peace agreement with Ansar Allah (called the Huti household gang or ‘Houthi’), without informing his ally, Israel [ 20 I'm sorry.
When president Trump learns that Israel is planning to usage 1 of its atomic bombs against Iran, allegedly to prevent him from building his own, he takes the initiative and orders the bombing of Iranian civilian atomic facilities. This is Operation North Hammer of June 21, 2025. 21 Without waiting for the analysis of satellite images of the harm by the CIA, he announces the demolition of all Iranian objects.
Shortly after the failure of the agreement on the cessation of terrorism (2017) and of Abraham's agreements (2020), he announces the 3rd method: On 19 February 2026, the Council of Peace is set up to conclude agreements where the United Nations has failed [ 22 The aim is to make an alliance with independent figures that will bypass rooted administrations. This Council presents a process whose first step is simply a decisive triumph but which is incapable to initiate the second step. Israel, who has accepted this plan and joined the Council, opposes it with all its might.
On May 7, 2026, an Israeli military presenter announced that Trump had decided to break off direct contacts with Netanyahu as he believed Netanyahu was manipulating him before [ 23 I'm sorry.
On May 8, Ron Dermer, a trustee of Netanyahu and Secretary of strategical Affairs, visited the White House. He argued that Israel should attack Lebanon and that the United States should attack Iran. Donald Trump replied that Israel had to fulfill its obligations.
On 14 May, direct negotiations began between Israel and Lebanon in the presence of Elbridge Colby, Deputy Secretary of Defense. Trump's administration stated that Israel refuses to end the war in Lebanon. Tehran, who included peace in Lebanon in the ceasefire agreement in the Gulf, immediately declared that he no longer trusted the United States and broke all negotiations.
On June 1, Donald Trump yet agreed to a telephone conversation with his friend Netanyahu. He told him: “You are crazy! Without me, you'd be in jail. I'm saving your life. Everyone hates you now. All hatred Israel due to you.” [ 24 ]
He then published on fact Social: “I spoke to Bibi Netanyahu present and asked him not to carry out a mass attack on Beirut, Lebanon. He ordered his troops to withdraw. Thank you, Bibi! I besides spoke with representatives of Hezbollah's leadership who agreed to halt shooting Israel and its soldiers. Israel besides agreed to halt shooting them. We will see how long this will take – I hope forever!” [ 25 ]
Mike Huckabee, U.S. Ambassador to Jerusalem/Al-Kuds, writes on X: “Joe Kent is either not besides intelligent or just dishonest. Israel receives $3.8 billion, but spends much more on buying American military equipment. The United States besides benefits from technological innovation, so the benefits are much greater. The fresh Agreement with Israel ends aid and will be based on trade." [ 26 ]
The Israeli Prime Minister then replied X: "I spoke to president Trump this evening and told him that Israel would attack terrorist targets in Beirut if Hezbollah did not halt attacking our cities and citizens."
This is our clear position. At the same time, Israel's Defence Forces will proceed to act in the south of the country as planned" [ 27 I'm sorry.
The break came and was accepted.
