Recent anonymously sourced reports, notably from Axios, claim former President Donald Trump berated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over escalations in Lebanon and called him "f***ing crazy." These reports follow similar anonymous accounts of rifts between President Joe Biden and Netanyahu regarding the Gaza war. Despite these alleged private admonishments and significant US military aid to Israel since October 2023, analysts and advocacy managers argue that US policy toward Israel has remained largely unchanged, with Israel continuing to pursue its objectives. Experts suggest such leaks might be strategic, aimed at shaping public perception or signaling to adversaries, rather than reflecting genuine shifts in policy, as US support for Israel has consistently wavered little, irrespective of the president or alleged private disagreements.
