US President Donald Trump delivered a sharp critique of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, branding him “weak and pathetic.” The president leveled accusations of dishonesty, specifically concerning Herzog’s repeated assurances to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated to Channel 14 of Israel that Herzog “told me many times, more than once, that he would pardon him and he lied.”
He further asserted that Herzog “was not a leader,” highlighting the ongoing corruption trial involving Netanyahu as a detrimental distraction. Trump argued that Netanyahu, often referred to as “Bibi,” needed to prioritize the war effort, dismissing Herzog’s involvement as “a charlatan.”
The American president has consistently raised this concern.
Previously, trump had characterized Herzog as “a weak and insignificant person,” reiterating the accusation of deceit regarding the promised pardon. The repeated criticism underscores a significant divergence in opinion between the two leaders regarding the handling of the current situation. This ongoing dispute reflects a familiar pattern in trump’s approach to international relations, particularly concerning the relationship between the United States and Israel, and the focus on Netanyahu’s priorities.
