Trump-Netanyahu Relationship: Strengths and Strains Over War Strategy and Regional Peace

The political relationship between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been considered one of the strongest in today's geopolitics. Together, the two leaders changed the course of global politics during Trump's first term. Whether it was the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem, the recognition of Israel on the Golan Heights, or the signing of the'Abraham Accords '. Behind this deep friendship and solidarity visible to the outside world, the Middle East war has also given rise to many deep differences between the two leaders. Both leaders agree on Israel's right to self-defense. But Trump's talk of immediate regional peace, the policy of compromises, and Netanyahu's insistence on complete military victory and saving domestic politics have brought them face to face on many occasions. Let's see when the two political friends appeared to be at odds with each other.
