Netanyahu responds to Trump’s claim of disloyalty – By Brie Stimson (FOX News) / Dec 12 2021
“F— him,” Trump said of Netanyahu in an interview with an Israeli journalist
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded Friday to former President Trump’s accusation that he showed disloyalty by congratulating President Biden on his election win last year, saying he did so in the best interest of his country.
“It was important for me to congratulate the incoming president,” Netanyahu said about reports of an interview Trump did earlier this year with an Israeli reporter in which Trump claimed he hadn’t spoken with Netanyahu since the perceived slight.
He added, “I highly appreciate President Trump’s big contribution to Israel and its security. I also appreciate the importance of the strong alliance between Israel and the U.S,” Axios reported.
Trump in the interview with journalist Barak Ravid reportedly said, “Nobody did more for Bibi,” referring to Netanyahu’s nickname. “And I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi. But I also like loyalty. The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape.”
