Watan-Israeli Army Radio reported that close associates of U.S. President Donald Trump informed Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer that Trump has decided to cut ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the report, Trump’s associates told Dermer that Netanyahu is manipulating the U.S. president, and emphasized that what Trump hates most is appearing to be manipulated.
The radio cited an Israeli official who said Dermer’s typically arrogant tone during discussions with senior Republican figures had no effect in resolving the tensions.
This revelation followed a report by Israel Hayom, which stated that Trump is “disappointed” with Netanyahu and plans to take independent steps in the Middle East without waiting for the Israeli prime minister’s approval.
Since beginning his new presidential term on January 20, 2025, Trump has provided broad and unconditional support to Netanyahu’s government, which has waged what many describe as a genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
Despite that support, Israel Hayom reported, citing unnamed sources, that personal relations between Trump and Netanyahu have cooled, and mutual disappointment is growing.
The paper added that two senior figures close to Trump said in recent closed-door conversations that he has decided not to wait any longer for Israel and will advance his Middle East agenda without Netanyahu.
The sources did not specify what actions Trump plans to take independently, but Tel Aviv officials reportedly complain that Trump increasingly acts without coordination with Israel.
A key example is the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement recently reached with Yemen’s Houthi group, which excluded Israel and was finalized without notifying Tel Aviv in advance.

Times of Israel-US President Donald Trump is disappointed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom reports, citing two “senior sources close to the president.”
According to the Hebrew-language daily, in closed-door conversations Trump said he was going to make progress on his objectives in the Middle East without waiting for Israel.
On a deal with Saudi Arabia, Trump wants Israel to be a central part of an agreement, but “Netanyahu is delaying making the necessary decisions,” writes Israel Hayom’s Ariel Kahana, who interviewed Trump at Mar-A-Lago last year.
Trump is also still upset with Netanyahu and his circle over what he sees as an attempt to push the White House into military action against Iran’s nuclear program, say the sources.
Israeli officials were caught off guard by Trump’s announcement that the US had reached a ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen this week, and by the start of US-Iran nuclear talks in April.
After the Houthi ceasefire announcement, Netanyahu and senior ministers have been emphasizing in recent statements that Israel “can defend itself by itself.”
