Trump’s aides informed Israeli Minister Ron Dermer that the former president felt “disrespected” and believed Netanyahu had tried to publicly portray him as easily influenced. Sources say this perception deeply offended Trump, prompting him to end all direct communication.
Tensions between the two have been simmering since Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden soon after the 2020 election, a move that reportedly angered Trump.
