Trump reveals he spoke with Netanyahu and the Israeli leader is not listening to Biden

Former President Donald Trump said Saturday that he had spoken with Benjamin Netanyahu and that the Israeli prime minister was not listening to President Joe Biden.

Trump made the comments in front of a partisan rally crowd during a passage where he promised to restore the nation to a position of international influence and respect.

His words come at a time when Netanyahu is at a crossroads: unleash fire and fury on Iran and its allies or use the recent killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to declare victory and de-escalation.

‘Bibi called me today and said it’s amazing. what has happened, they say is quite incredible. but I wouldn’t listen to Biden, because if he did, they wouldn’t be in this position,’ he told thousands of supporters in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, using a nickname for the Israeli leader.

“And I tell you what, they’re in a much stronger position now than they were three months ago, that’s for sure.”

It suggests Netanyahu intends to go it alone.

The Israeli prime minister’s office confirmed he had spoken to Trump shortly after a Hezbollah attack on his home.

“The representatives of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a grave mistake,” Netanyahu said.

It marks a period of heightened tensions in the region, with Israeli officials condemning Iran and the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.

Trump will spend Saturday and Sunday in Pennsylvania ahead of Monday’s voter registration deadline.

On Sunday, he will be working a fry counter at a McDonald’s near Philadelphia before attending a Pittsburgh Steelers game in the evening.

“If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing,” he told several thousand supporters at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

His speech included all of his greatest hits: exaggerated crowd sizes, complaints about a “weaponized” justice system and a promise to tell Vice President Kamala Harris, “He’s fired.”

The main message, however, was to encourage supporters to get out and vote early, beating Democrats at their own game.

“Early voting in Pennsylvania is on, just go vote,” he said. “If you haven’t registered to vote, you have two days.”

He told his crowd that their vote will decide, “whether we give up on America or whether we save America.”

And he promised them a “new golden age”.

“One hundred years from now, the 2024 presidential election will be seen as America’s greatest victory,” he said. “We’ve been through a lot together, and finally the finish line is in sight.”
