US EditionTrump's 2nd Shock To Netanyahu In 3 Days; US President ‘Cuts Ties’ With Israeli PM After Houthi Deal
- On May 8, 2025, US President Donald Trump severed direct communications with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid reports from various Israeli news outlets that their relationship had significantly worsened.
- This action follows Trump’s frustration with Netanyahu’s handling of a potential US-Saudi normalization deal, as Saudi Arabia demands Gaza war cessation and a public commitment to Palestinian statehood from Israel.
- Trump plans to advance Middle East initiatives, including a Saudi agreement, without Israeli participation due to Netanyahu’s perceived delays and attempts to influence US policy, according to sources close to Trump.
- A senior US official warned that Israel is facing increased costs as the conflict continues, while Ambassador Jack Lew emphasized that the US would consider military action only if American lives are threatened, not at Israel’s request.
- This development signals a significant low in US-Israel relations and suggests Trump aims to reshape regional diplomacy by proceeding on key deals independently of Israel’s involvement.
