As Trump prepares to visit the Middle East this week for his first major foreign trip, he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel are showing signs of a rift that has grown since April, according to a report of the New York Times.
In February, they were in sync on issues like the Houthis, Iran and Gaza.
Since then, NY Times said, Trump has rejected Netanyahu’s desire for joint action to take out Iran’s nuclear abilities.
He also announced a deal with Houthi militias to halt U.S. airstrikes against them, just days after a Houthi missile struck Israel’s main airport.
There is even some evidence of a divide on Gaza.
Meanwhile, Hamas said it would free Edan Alexander, the last living U.S. citizen held captive in Gaza.
