New revelations have emerged from a forthcoming book by two New York Times reporters, which suggests a heated exchange between former US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a 2025 meeting over a proposed peace plan for Gaza.
According to ‘Regime Change,’ written by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, the two authors recount an anecdote where Trump is said to have berated Netanyahu, using pointed language in front of other officials. The reported outburst has sparked renewed scrutiny of the complex and often fraught relationship between Trump and Netanyahu.
The alleged exchange, which is central to the book’s narrative, took place during a meeting at the White House where the US President was pushing Netanyahu to support his proposed peace plan for Gaza. According to reports, Trump reportedly turned on Netanyahu, telling him: ‘Everybody’s sick of you, Bibi. All the Jews are sick of you.’
The statement is particularly striking given the close historical ties between the US and Israeli governments. Trump’s reported comments not only reflect a deepening of tensions between the two leaders but also raise questions about the impact of such sentiments on the bilateral relationship.
The book is set to provide an intimate look at the inner workings of Trump’s presidency and the key relationships that shaped his foreign policy. The reported exchange with Netanyahu is just one of many explosive anecdotes contained within the pages of ‘Regime Change.’
Haberman and Swan, both highly respected journalists known for their extensive coverage of the Trump administration, have conducted numerous interviews with key figures from the era. Their book promises a comprehensive and detailed account of the innermost workings of the Trump presidency, shedding light on some of the most pivotal moments in recent international history.
The book’s revelations have already sparked widespread interest, with many observers seeking to understand the full extent of the reported feud between Trump and Netanyahu. The alleged exchange is also likely to raise questions about the motivations behind Trump’s push for the Gaza peace plan, as well as the broader implications of his words for US-Israel relations.
As the 2024 presidential election looms, with many of the key figures from the Trump administration likely to play a central role in the campaign, ‘Regime Change’ is set to provide a timely and incisive examination of the personalities and politics that have defined the US administration in recent years.
