Netanyahu 'put all of his chips on Donald Trump' — and it was a 'big mistake': Israeli reporter

On CNN Friday, Israeli reporter Barak Ravid discussed the falling out between former President Donald Trump and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the latter's congratulation of Joe Biden — and suggested their relationship was never as close as they wanted people to think.
