Trump reportedly slams Netanyahu for congratulating Biden

In a newly released interview, former President Donald Trump slams ex-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for congratulating Joe Biden on his presidential win earlier this year. 

"I haven’t spoken to him since," Trump said in interview comments released by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid. "F--k him," Trump added.

"Nobody did more for Bibi. And I liked Bibi. I still like Bibi," Trump said, using Netanyahu's nickname. "But I also like loyalty. The first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did it on tape."

Netanyahu did congratulate Biden after he was declared the 2020 election, saying in a video message he tweeted that "I have had a warm personal friendship going back many decades."

Trump took issue with that characterization.

"They didn't have a friendship, because if they did, they wouldn't have done the Iran deal," Trump said. "And guess what, now they're going to do it again. And if they do it again, Israel is in very grave danger.

"I'll tell you what - had I not come along, I think Israel was going to be destroyed," he added.
