Quietly disappeared Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday towards the USA. Netanyahu will have paid US President Donald Trump five state visits this year. Unlike previous trips, the Israeli prime minister did not make any statement in advance and did not take any journalists with him on his plane. The Times of Israel referred to the process as “rare decision” by the prime minister, who is very keen on favorable PR.

The reason for Netanyahu’s silent departure could be Trump delivered on the weekend. The US Magazine Politico asked him whether he was expecting Israel’s prime minister alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was in the United States on Sunday. Trump said: “They’re all coming. They’re respecting our country again.” The disrespectful conversation in the White House at the beginning of the year was proof enough that the US President doesn’t particularly like the Ukrainian head of state. Does this also apply to Trump’s former friend Netanyahu?
