On Friday, the two men will meet face-to-face for the first time in nearly four years in a test of whether the relationship can be mended. Both have an interest in getting past their differences.
U.S. President Donald Trump, right, meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office in Washington on Sept. 15, 2020. As U.S. president, Donald Trump went well beyond his predecessors in fulfiling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s top wishes from the United States. Yet by the time Trump left the White House, relations between the two had broken down after Netanyahu rapidly congratulated Joe Biden on his 2020 presidential victory.
For both men, Friday’s meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., will highlight for their home audiences their depiction of themselves as strong leaders who have gotten big things done on the world stage, and can again. But Trump's public statements urging a rapid end to the war in Gaza could add to tensions.
Trump broke off with Netanyahu in early 2021. That was after the Israeli prime minister became one of the first world leaders to congratulate Biden for his presidential election victory, disregarding Trump's false claim he had won. In public postings and statements after his break with Netanyahu, Trump portrayed himself as having stuck his neck out for Israel as president, and Netanyahu paying him back with disloyalty.America Votes: Latest U.S. election news and analysis from a Canadian perspective
Netanyahu listed actions by the Trump administration long-sought by Israeli governments — the U.S. officially saying Israel had sovereignty over the Golan Heights, captured from Syria during a 1967 war; a tougher U.S. policy toward Iran; and Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, breaking with longstanding U.S. policy that Jerusalem's status should be decided in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
