Former United States President Donald Trump has said in an interview with an American television channel that will be broadcast today (Thursday) that he will consider supporting Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming elections. Me in some ways, but in general I love him. "

The former president's remarks come after he attacked Netanyahu in a conversation with a Walla! When it seemed that Israel was on its way to a fifth election, Trump said that "the first person to congratulate Biden was Bibi Netanyahu - the man I did more for than I did for anyone else I worked with.

Bibi could have sat quietly, he made a terrible mistake. "

Trump admitted to Ravid that he had made various moves that would help Netanyahu survive politically as prime minister, but he felt he did not receive the same treatment from Netanyahu.

One of the examples Trump gave was his decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights a few days before the Israeli elections in April 2019.

"It was a big deal," Trump said.

"People told me it was a gift worth ten billion dollars. I did it before the election - and it helped him. Maybe it helped him get a draw. I mean, he would have lost the election without me and thanks to me he came out a draw. He went up a lot in polls after the level decision. The Golan Heights. It rose by 10% or 15%. "

At least five times during the interview, Trump mentioned that Netanyahu congratulated Biden on a video he posted.

He said that the person who showed him the video was his wife Melania.

"No one has done for Bibi more than me. I loved Bibi. I still love Bibi. But I also love loyalty," Trump said.

"The first person to congratulate Joe Biden was Bibi. And not only did he congratulate him, he did so in a video."

Ravid spoke with Trump once again in July last year.

A month earlier, Netanyahu left the Prime Minister's Office after 12 consecutive years and Naftali Bennett was sworn in in his place.

"I like him, but he has been in office for a long time," the former president said of Netanyahu.

"People were very angry with him when he was the first to call to congratulate Biden."
