As Israeli leader, Netanyahu seeks to revive his relationship with Trump.

Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with former President Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday to mend their damaged relationship.

Following his defeat by Trump in the 2020 presidential election, Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Biden, prompting Trump to criticize the Israeli leader. In an interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, Trump was quoted as saying "I haven’t spoken to him since," before adding "F--k him."

Netanyahu congratulated Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Twitter, expressing his excitement to work with them to strengthen the alliance between the US and Israel.

Trump's accomplishments in the Middle East were praised by Netanyahu during his speech to Congress.

The Israeli leader commended President Trump for his leadership in brokering the historic Abraham Accords and expressed relief that he survived the attack on American democracy. He emphasized that political violence has no place in democracies.

The Abraham Accords, which established diplomatic normalization between Israel and several Sunni Arab countries, were facilitated by Trump and his Mideast team.

In his speech, Netanyahu thanked President Trump for various actions he took in support of Israel, including recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, confronting Iran's aggression, and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving the American Embassy there.

Michael Makovsky, president and CEO of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that it is crucial for both men and both the U.S. and Israel for Netanyahu and Trump to have a positive meeting tomorrow. Despite their strained relationship, Trump knows that the Republican base is pro-Israel, as evidenced by the standing ovations Netanyahu received during his speech to Congress.

"Trump may gain some independent or Democratic voters who are dissatisfied with Biden's shift on Israel this year and Harris' views on Israel. However, Trump is fundamentally pro-Israel, and Netanyahu understands that strong U.S. support is crucial for Israel to address its threats in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. If Trump is re-elected, they need to have close personal ties, which is critical for Trump. In any case, it is vital for U.S. national security interests for the U.S. to maintain close ties with Israel."

The new chapter in Trump-Netanyahu relations is already underway, as Trump welcomes Netanyahu's recognition of his Mideast diplomatic achievements.

On Thursday, Trump stated on "Fox & Friends" that Netanyahu was "very kind" to him the previous day. He added that Netanyahu had mentioned him in a speech "very nicely" and that he appreciated the visit.

The former president advised the Israeli leader to expedite the prosecution of the war against Hamas, stating, "I want him to finish it quickly and get it done. You need to do it quickly because they are being severely impacted by the publicity. And, as you know, Israel is not skilled in public relations."

Trump stated that the massacre of nearly 1,200 people on Oct. 7 in southern Israel, including more than 30 Americans, would not have occurred if he had been re-elected in 2020. He asserted that there was no chance of it happening and that Iran, which was broke at the time, had no money to fund Hamas or Hezbollah.

Trump stated that the nine-month conflict in Gaza, aimed at eliminating Hamas terrorists, has persisted for too long: "I would ensure that it ends quickly. You must put an end to this immediately. It cannot continue like this. It's too long, it's too much. You need to release your hostages."

Over 100 hostages, including eight Americans, remain in Hamas's custody in Gaza.

A foreign leader's visit to the United States presents a challenging situation, and the appropriate course of action is to request meetings with Biden, Harris, and Trump, according to Richard Goldberg, who served on the National Security Council during the Trump administration.

Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, D.C., stated, "To achieve security, stability, and peace, the best approach would be to apply maximum pressure on Iran and provide maximum support to Israel."
