Trump denies rift with Netanyahu, says PM 'fought hard and bravely'

US President Donald Trump denied that he has grown “frustrated” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing the wanted war criminal as someone who has “a tough situation.”

Asked during a televised interview with Fox News if he was frustrated by the Israeli premier, Trump said, “No, look, he’s got a tough situation. You have to remember, there was October 7 that everyone forgets. It was one of the most violent days in the history of the world, not the Middle East, the world, when you look at the tapes.”

“Bibi, he’s an angry man, and he should be because of October 7, and he’s been hurt badly by that, but in another way, he’s been sort of helped because I think he’s fought hard and bravely,” he added.
