Do we know?
You would think.
They're in cahoots.
I think he must have been surprised by this deal.
It is true that Trump and Netanyahu have seemed to have had a very cushy relationship, not only during this term, but during President Trump's first term as well.
But it's not a relationship of equals.
And we've seen particularly over the past few months, I think in response to criticism here in the United States over the role that Israel and the role that the prime minister may have had in convincing President Trump to go to war, President Trump repeatedly talk about the fact that he is in charge, that Prime Minister Netanyahu is going to do what he says, that he is the decider and Prime Minister Netanyahu is not.
So, yes, I do think they have a good relationship.
But President Trump, at least publicly, seems to be signaling that he is in charge and he wants everybody to know that.
So I think that Prime Minister Netanyahu undoubtedly is feeling some stress in this relationship.
And when he shows up here tomorrow, he's going to do whatever he can to try and repair any rifts that there are.
Israel wanted this war, but hates this deal that the president may very likely complete with Saudi Arabia.
Did they miscalculate somewhere in here?
Because it feels very much like this deal is an outcome of this war.
I think the Israelis have miscalculated in a number of ways.
And the biggest is that consistently since 2017 or 2018, Israel,
You hear Israeli officials, political officials, security officials, even ordinary Israelis, talk routinely about President Trump being the best friend that Israel has ever had and exhibiting a faith in President Trump that he will never do anything that will hang Israel out to dry.
And a lot of what they've done has proceeded on that assumption.
And even though everybody is aware of President Trump's transactional nature, even though everybody is aware that he is relatively volatile, that he...
flips on policy issues all the time, the Israelis had this faith that they would always be an exception to that rule.
