Afrasianet - Munir Shafiq - During two calls between US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the latter heard very harsh words, before the signing of the agreement to end the war on June 17, 2026. US Vice President J.D. Vance also made violent remarks against Netanyahu, accusing him of making mistakes. They included a stern rebuke and warning.
This leaves no room for anyone to deny the existence of a severe contradiction between Trump and Netanyahu, or to mitigate the seriousness or seriousness of this contradiction, without neglecting the organic relationship between the United States and the Zionist entity, based on what Trump or Vance have declared, and still are, of Zionist bias, or concern for the Zionist entity, or even for Netanyahu himself.
This contradiction is based on the sharp difference between Trump's policies towards negotiation and agreement with Iran, in light of the war raging between them, on the one hand, and the policies of Netanyahu, who criticizes the agreement and calls for the continuation of the war against Iran, until it is forced to surrender.
In addition, he escalated the war in southern Lebanon. The war over the past four months has proven that this contradiction has not reached the point of exploding, as is happening now, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has proved the ability of the Islamic regime to withstand and steadfastness and its commitment to America in the war, in terms of fighting, negotiating and managing the conflict, which indicates the absurdity of the war for America.
This contradiction between the two policies is now translated, in practice and in the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu, to: Who is in his interest first America, or the Zionist entity?
He tried to give priority to Netanyahu's policy, i.e., the interest of Israel. In declaring war on Iran itself, based on the assessment of Netanyahu and the Mossad, that the regime would fall from the first week, or after the first strikes were launched, starting with the mass assassinations and the bombing of hundreds or thousands of sites, which convinced Trump to make this estimate and enter the war.
But this failed and proved wrong. In fact, the opposite happened, with the popular and official reactions to the assassination of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where the Iranian people united behind the regime, to stand firm and confront an aggressive war that even targeted Iran's existence, where the threat to remove Iran from existence came.
The United States, under Trump's presidency, has suffered a lot of losses, reputational, economic, political, and moral because of the continuation of a conflict that Netanyahu wants, for whom war has become a goal in itself.
However, the problem was not limited to the failure of the assessment that contributed to Trump's war on Iran, but also the outcome of the confrontation in this conflict, of a global economic crisis, especially after Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the entry of the United States into international isolation, represented by the American-European dispute and the declared positions of the majority of Arab and Islamic countries, and the third world against the war, not to mention the world public opinion.
However, one of the most important results of this conflict, for Trump, was that the majority of the American people did not consider this war to be America's war, but rather the war of the Zionist entity. This translated into a decline in Trump's domestic popularity to 36 percent, a level that no American president has ever reached.
Some statistics aimed at American youth between the ages of 17 and 30, even among the Jewish youth themselves, expressed percentages of up to 60% or 70% who support the Palestinian right, or condemn Netanyahu, of committing war crimes.
This was reflected in the terrible deterioration of the reputation of the Zionist entity in the eyes of the world public opinion, to the extent that the holding of an Israeli passport led to the boycott of the holder in a number of European countries, the refusal to deal with it, and the refusal to serve it in a restaurant or register it in a hotel.
In a word, the United States, under Trump's presidency, has suffered many losses, in terms of reputation, economy, politics, and morals, due to the continuation of a conflict that Netanyahu, for whom the war has become a goal in itself, wants because of his special status within the Zionist entity.
If the war stops, he is at risk of moving his corruption cases before the judiciary, in addition to his acquiescence to a commission of inquiry into the mistakes (sins) he committed before the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. This is an investigation that Netanyahu cannot appear before his committee.
It is this situation that underpins his insistence on the losing war, for almost three years in Gaza, that illustrates his determination to continue the war against Iran and Lebanon. This is in order to remain in the prime minister that protects him from going to prison.
Thus, Trump has received countless negatives because of his alliance with Netanyahu and his contemporaries with him. The explosion of contradiction between them was an inevitable result, and the aforementioned phone calls between them reached what they have reached. So did Vance's statements, which contained a veiled warning and threat to Netanyahu.
In a word, the problem between Trump and Netanyahu is serious, and Trump's future depends on addressing and resolving it, and thus not repeating the previous equation that Netanyahu and his current ruled, even in America itself, and the result was disastrous for Trump.
It is true that this contradiction does not lead to the dismantling of the organic alliance between America and the Zionist entity. But it must be resolved, otherwise the damage to America must stop.
Hence, he must understand the meaning of Vance's statement, that two-thirds of the weapons with which the Zionist entity fought were covered by the taxes paid by the American citizen. He must also understand what Trump said to Netanyahu recently: Enough is enough.
However, the final question remains: Who is safe from Trump's volatility?
The answer: It was the balance of power that tilted against the interests of Trump and Netanyahu that led to the signing of the agreement to end the war, with a clear tilt in Iran's favor.
