Last week, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid revealed that former President Donald Trump had two words for Benjamin Netanyahu when he congratulated Joe Biden for his 2020 election victory: “Fuck him.” Now, in fresh excerpts from Ravid’s book, the reporter claims the foul-mouthed rant was one of several fallings-out between the Trump administration and the Israeli government. In one encounter between then-Israeli Ambassador to D.C. Ron Dermer and Jared Kushner in February 2020, Dermer reportedly told Trump’s son-in-law that Netanyahu was doubting if he could trust the Trump administration. In response, Kushner is reported to have screamed at Dermer: “Don’t be mistaken to think that everything that happened in the past three years was for you. We did it because we were serious about peace... To say such a thing about us is disgusting. Get out.” Avi Berkowitz, who served as Trump’s Mideast peace envoy, is also reported to have told Dermer: “The president doesn’t like you guys now.”
