The transatlantic war of words between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu escalated on Monday as Netanyahu's predecessor offered his thoughts.
A new book by Barak Ravid reported that Trump is livid that Netanyahu called to congratulate Joe Biden on winning the 2020 election.
“F*ck him,” Trump said. “I haven’t spoken to him since.”
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert weighed in on Monday, Israel National News reports.
“Everyone knows my opinion of Netanyahu. I am not fond of him, I don’t appreciate him, I don’t trust him, I don’t believe in his integrity,” Olmert said. “The fact that Netanyahu congratulated Biden on his election victory shows that he acted as we should expect the Israeli PM to act – to congratulate the duly elected American president."
Olmert was the mayor of Jerusalem, prime minister, and served 19 months in prison.
“Trump said that the fact that Netanyahu congratulated Biden is a betrayal of the special relationship between Israel and the US; that is crazy and beyond understanding, he is a pathetic man," Olmert said.
