Trump cut off contact with Netanyahu: Israeli media

Sources say the US president seems to have distanced himself from the Israeli premier over "manipulation" claims.

“Israel’s” Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reportedly spoke “with his usual arrogance” to senior Republican officials, detailing what US President Donald Trump “must do", according to Yanir Cozin, a diplomatic correspondent for Israeli Army Radio, who cited a senior Israeli official.

However, Dermer’s approach appears to have backfired. Trump’s inner circle reportedly told him that “Netanyahu is manipulating the American president,” a characterization that did not sit well with Trump.

The cited official noted that “Trump hates nothing more than appearing to be manipulated.”

    Bibi, Bibi, Bibi - listen-listen. I keep telling you that ya gotta buy $Trump meme coin.

    Mr. President - respectfully - our relationship is not of that nature.

    But it is of that nature. America - Strong and Powerful. Israel pound-for-pound is good but not Strong and Powerful like America. What are you without us? Ya gotta buy $Trump meme coin. It’s a respect thing.

    Netanyahu doesn’t say anything. He just scowls.
