Disappointment in Washington! Netanyahu made the USA fed up

The political deadlock that emerged after the elections in Israel created frustration in Washington. According to The Telegraph, expectations that relations between the USA and Israel will be reshaped with Netanyahu's departure from power and a more moderate administration taking office have weakened.

Despite US President Donald Trump's strong support for Netanyahu, different political groups in the Washington administration and Congress expected the opposition to win the elections in Israel. These groups thought that US-Israel relations, which had been declining for years during the Netanyahu era, could be repaired with a new administration.

One of the former officials of the Trump administration summarized the situation with the following words:

"Governing Israel in a less provocative way would be an opportunity to end the problems. There is weariness with Netanyahu here."

According to the Telegraph, unease towards Netanyahu has spread to different segments of US politics. Netanyahu has also disappointed Trump, who has called the Israeli leader "crazy" many times in the past.

Matthew Bartlett, who served at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during Trump's first term as president, said that there are serious differences of opinion within the Republican Party regarding Israel.

A former White House official who maintains contact with Trump's inner circle said that the US President's support for Netanyahu stems from both personal relationships and political calculations.

The former White House official commented on Israeli far-rightists Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezazel Smotrich: "They make life difficult."

Another former official who served in Trump's first administration also stated that the White House may ask the Netanyahu government for a "more harmonious" Israeli administration. “Having Smotrich and Ben-Gvir in government would undermine almost all of Trump's visions of how to prevail in Middle East peace,” the official said.

WHITE HOUSE: WE WILL NOT INTERFERE IN COALITION TALKS

On the other hand, according to the Times of Israel, the Trump administration decided not to intervene in the efforts to establish a government coalition after the elections in Israel.

A US official told the newspaper on Wednesday that reports that Washington favored a particular coalition structure in Israel were "inaccurate and premature". The official stated that the election results have not yet been finalized and that it is too early to make any decision.
