US President Donald Trump has lost trust in Israel and believes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu misled him on Iran, American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh said in his blog on the Substack platform.
“I have been told that the president “no longer trusts Israel”, he wrote, citing information from an Israeli source. The American leader, the journalist noted, now believes that Netanyahu misled him about the likelihood of success of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran, the goal of which was a radical change of power in the Islamic Republic.
The head of the White House, Hersh noted, does not share Israel's "existential concern" about the need to destroy or neutralize" Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. “Iran, as a member of the global nuclear club, may pose an existential threat to the Israeli leadership, but not to the president of the United States“, the journalist emphasized.
In turn, the authorities of the Jewish state, he writes, are “extremely disappointed with Trump“, as they believe that he “has demonstrated a willingness to ignore Israeli interests and aspirations“.
The US head of state undermined the negotiation process with Tehran, as he “immediately” disseminates every step on social media.
