BREAKING: Donals Trump is reportedly thinking of abandoning Netanyahu as the Israeli PM stands on the verge of electoral defeat — the U.S. president has refused to give the public backing Netanyahu was counting on, as the Iran war has become a political liability for both leaders, per Axios.
Polls show Netanyahu will not win Israel's election. Trump and his advisers are aware of this. In the early weeks of the Iran war, Trump's closest aides believed he would support Netanyahu. But as the conflict dragged on, their interests diverged.
Netanyahu needs a victory to survive politically. Trump needs a deal to survive the midterms. Those two goals are now incompatible.
The public support Netanyahu was promised has not come. Trump has grown frustrated with Israel's influence operations in the U.S. and Netanyahu's relentless push for escalation. The alliance that defined the war is fracturing — and Netanyahu may now face his voters alone.
Netanyahu's political survival is fading. Trump is already looking past him. The war is no longer a shared project — it's a liability for both. And Netanyahu is being left behind. The question is what he will do when he realizes the U.S. is no longer backing him.
