The US Ambassador to Israel publicly contradicted former President Donald Trump’s assertion that “Israel wouldn’t exist” without his support. Trump made the statement during a recent interview, prompting a response from Ambassador Tom Nides. Nides, referencing Trump’s social media activity, indicated that Trump had not been removed from social media platforms, subtly questioning his current state of mind. He further emphasized that Israel existed before Trump’s presidency, implicitly challenging the former president’s claim of sole responsibility for its existence. The ambassador’s comments represent a rare public rebuke of a former US president by a current ambassador. This exchange highlights ongoing political tensions and differing perspectives on the US-Israel relationship. The incident occurred during an event in Cairo, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
