Former US President Donald Trump heavily criticized former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a recently published interview. 

The Israeli news outlet Yedioth Ahronoth published an interview today between Trump and journalist Barak Ravid. In the interview, which was conducted in April, Trump launched a scathing attack on his one-time ally Netanyahu. Much of Trump’s criticism stemmed from Netanyahu’s tweet on Jan. 20 congratulating US President Joe Biden on becoming president. Trump was and is still disputing the election results.
