BlockBeats News, July 5th, The New York Times reported that as the U.S. reached a rapprochement with Iran and the Trump administration adjusted its Middle East policy, the rift between U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is widening, and the U.S.-Israel relationship is at a crucial turning point.

The report stated that Trump had previously been reported to privately criticize Netanyahu for the military escalation in Lebanon, telling him "everyone now hates you." Vice President Pence also recently publicly stated that Israel "cannot rely on constantly waging wars to solve all security issues" and emphasized that U.S. and Israeli interests are not always aligned.

The recent public criticism of the Israeli government by the U.S. government has sparked dissatisfaction among the Israeli domestic conservative and pro-Netanyahu camps. A recent poll showed that Trump's support among the Israeli people has significantly decreased after the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding.

The article suggests that Israel's long-standing security strategy of relying on military power to achieve "comprehensive victory" is facing increasing scrutiny. Against the backdrop of ongoing warfare and deepening international isolation, regardless of who leads in the future, Israel will have to reassess its security strategy and foreign policy.
