Nétanyahu is becoming increasingly arrogant: U.S. officials report to him every day.
Has Nétanyahu really started treating himself as the "President of the United States"?
On the 13th, Nétanyahu publicly claimed that during previous U.S.-Iran negotiations, Vance had called him to update on the progress—just as "officials from the Trump administration did every day."
Naturally, this statement immediately sparked backlash from American public opinion. Many Democratic lawmakers and media journalists questioned: Why did the Trump administration report daily to Israel's Prime Minister instead of informing Congress and the American people? Some even sarcastically remarked that this once again proves the United States is Israel’s "marionette."
Naturally, Nétanyahu dares to act so brazenly because he has his own confidence. Recently, U.S. media revealed that Nétanyahu had lobbied multiple U.S. administrations to go to war with Iran—but neither Obama nor Biden showed interest. Only Trump actually fell for it. Since he managed to manipulate the U.S. President so easily, Nétanyahu clearly sees no need to pretend to be polite anymore.
However, Israel’s strategy of "hostaging" a major power is now triggering backlash within the United States. A new poll shows that among young voters in both parties, the proportion holding negative views toward Israel has risen to 57% among Republican youth and as high as 84% among Democratic youth—U.S. media say this generational shift in sentiment could gradually reshape America’s policy support for Israel in the coming years, especially once these younger generations grow into positions of influence.
